Maalouf Authentic Extra-Virgin Olive Oil

Stone-milled exclusively from a single grove of small, slender Souri olives grown in North Lebanon, Maalouf's early-harvest oil possesses a potent green-yellow color and a buttery, rich flavor with hints of green apple and artichoke. It has a subtle peppery kick and addictively long, nutty finish. This is truly an all-purpose, extra-virgin olive oil without the overpowering bitterness that mars many other brands. We have a very limited inventory of this small-batch oil; once we're sold out, we can't get more until next year's olive harvest. Ingredients Souri olives Specifications Net Volume: 500 milliliters Place of Origin: Koura, Lebanon Buying good extra virgin olive oil always feels like a gamble. There are countless varieties from multiple countries, and it's impossible to gauge what they taste like without committing to a bottle (which may be expensive—and not very good). Frankly, all we want is an all-purpose, fresh-flavored olive oil to use for salads, drizzling over cooked meats and vegetables, swirling into thick Greek yogurt for dips and swiping our bread. A good olive oil can be a sauce onto itself. We found exactly what we wanted in the stellar oil from Maalouf, a small producer in North Lebanon. Use this oil as a finishing drizzle over salads, roasted meat or vegetables, or swirling into yogurt with flaky seas salt for an easy dip. Because this oil is so delicious and nuanced, save your bottle for garnishing and grab something else when you cook.
