Buy Olive Oil directly from the Cooperative

Why buy olive oil?

At the beginning of each harvest, the first extracted EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) are the most sought after by experts and lovers of good extra virgin olive oil. They know that these early harvest juices are the freshest, most aromatic, and richest in polyphenols.

Often, in the Cooperativa you can buy unfiltered olive oil, which has a characteristic cloudy appearance. It is important to hurry, because this type of oil is more perishable than filtered oil due to the olive remains in suspension. These remains, while giving it that unique flavor, also cause its premature oxidation, and should be consumed within a few weeks.

This business model brings together different producers from a region to share extraction and packaging costs in the mill (Almazara). Traditionally, the first cooperative members would come with their 5L containers to personally stock up on the first olive oils of each harvest.

The 5L container was practically the only available container back then, and the cheapest. Later, other containers like the 500ml bottle appeared, facilitating its commercialization in stores and supermarkets.

It was then that online stores like Aceite del Campo were born to bring together the best Cooperativa and directly sell, without intermediaries, their precious extra virgin olive oils.

Thus, buying extra virgin olive oil directly from the Cooperativa in 5L containers and unfiltered is now possible thanks to Aceite del Campo. By doing so, the EVOO undergoes less exposure to light or heat from intermediary warehouses or supermarkets, reaching your table as fresh as possible.
