Frequently Asked Questions
A Guide to Selecting Your Olive Oil
Do you have questions about our products, orders, or services?
This FAQ has been designed to provide you with clear and quick answers.
If you cannot find the information you are looking for, please feel free to contact us — the Olio Sasa team is always happy to help.
How can you tell if an olive oil is truly high quality?
A good olive oil is revealed above all through taste and aroma. It should evoke fresh fruit, cut grass, and notes of artichoke or green almond. On the palate, a gentle bitterness or peppery tingle is a natural hallmark of freshness and rich polyphenols. An oil lacking aroma or character is often tired or overly processed.
Why do some olive oils sting the throat?
The tingle in the throat comes from polyphenols, natural compounds abundant in freshly harvested olives. Far from a defect, this peppery bite is a sign of vitality—the fresher and more expressive the oil, the more vibrant the sensation.
Is the price of an olive oil a guarantee of quality?
Price alone is not a guarantee, but true high-quality olive oil cannot be produced at a very low cost. The meticulous care during harvest, rapid processing, and selective olive sorting directly influence the final price. An exceptionally cheap oil almost always implies compromises on quality.
How long does olive oil last?
Olive oil is not eternal. It is at its best within the year following the harvest. Over time, it gradually loses its aromas and vitality. Checking the harvest date is often far more meaningful than looking at the expiration date.
What is the difference between virgin and extra virgin olive oil?
Extra virgin olive oil is extracted purely through mechanical methods and must meet strict technical standards. However, the label “extra virgin” alone does not guarantee exceptional flavor or peak freshness. Two extra virgin olive oils can differ dramatically in both quality and character.
Can you cook with high-quality olive oil?
Yes, a high-quality olive oil holds up exceptionally well to cooking. It remains heat-stable and retains its beneficial properties. While certain oils are particularly well-suited for high-temperature cooking, others truly shine when used raw. The key is simply matching the cooking method to the oil’s unique character.
How should you properly store your olive oil?
Olive oil should be stored away from light, heat, and air. An opaque container or dark glass bottle, kept tightly sealed, preserves its delicate aromas for much longer. Once opened, it is best enjoyed within a few months to experience its full freshness.
Do you need to be an expert to choose a good olive oil?
No. Choosing a fine olive oil relies mostly on awareness and sensory connection. Smelling, tasting, and observing the texture and presence of the oil are often all it takes to make an enlightened choice. Your body is a wonderful guide.
