If love could take a form, it would be this extra virgin olive oil from Naturvie that embodies emotion in the way it's made with a passion to connect land and tradition. Everything smells and tastes better when you're in love, and this oil -- bursting with aroma and the flavors of green grass, apples, bananas and ripe fruits -- will thrill the olive oil-lover inside of you. Made by the Sanchez-Mohino family using olives cultivated on their estate called El Hoyo, in Oliva de Merida, of the Extremadura region of Spain (the same region that produces the prized Bellota ham), the olive varieties in this bottle hail from the top olive-oil producing Mediterranean countries: Frantoio from Italy, Koroneiki from Greece, Cobrancosa from Portugal, Picholine from France, and Manzanilla Cacerena from Spain. Only an oil like this that connects the heart of all these countries is worthy of the title love. And the Sanchez-Mohino brothers who own Naturvie make sure that their olives are handled with as much care as true love is lasting and special. Their olive groves are more than 100 years old, they use only the best 10 percent of their crop, and their olives are picked by hand and transported to their mills in small boxes to prevent bruising. Then, their supreme oil is extracted within two hours of being harvested and bottled by hand to preserve its taste and texture that is as good as a first kiss. You’ll fall in love with this oil – we promise you.

Mild and fresh with no bitterness, this oil will awaken green salads with a simple dressing. Robust and fruity, it will also enhance pasta or meat when drizzled for a finishing touch.
