Why gourmet olive oil selection make a good gift

  • Olive oil gets used often in everyday cooking, so the gift won't sit unused.
  • Bottles look attractive on a counter and pair naturally with bread, vinegar or pasta gifts.

What to look for

  • Check for a harvest or best-before date, since olive oil tastes best when fresh.
  • Choose dark glass or tins, which protect the oil from light better than clear bottles.
  • Look at bottle size and whether pourer spouts, dipping dishes or balsamic vinegar are included.

Questions people ask

What is the difference between extra virgin and regular olive oil?
Extra virgin oil is mechanically pressed without refining and keeps a fuller, fruitier flavour. Regular olive oil is blended with refined oil and tastes milder.
How should olive oil be stored?
Keep it sealed in a cool, dark cupboard away from the stove, and use it within a few months of opening.
