CERTIFICATIONS
OF OUR OLIVE OIL

Tuscan  Olive Oil, a unique heritage of the territory and culture of this region of Italy, is protected since 1998 by the officially recognized denomination of Protected Geographical Indication. Tuscan IGP Olive Oil offers maximum certainty in terms of authenticity. The Consortium guarantees each bottle with its seal verifying the entire production chain, rigorously made in Tuscany, from the tree to the bottle. Toscano IGP is also subject to rigorous chemical and sensorial tests to check its compliance with the production protocol.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil  is the most highly valued classification under current international standards it has to posses well defined chemical properties in order to be defined as such. However the standard set for this classification is truly mediocre, of course our Olea Prilis organic olive oil fits in this category, but since the category has such low standards and we are not allowed to call our oil in any distinctive way from the broad definition, we simply prefer to define ourselves as producers of Organic Olive Oil. Our product is so much richer in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory molecules, of vitamin E and its acidity is at least one quarter of the standard set for EVOO, and so on in every parameter we can analyse, why should we promote or benchmark on such low quality standards? We are way better! We are not a multinational producer that survives thanks to lobbying politicians or the COI, we are a straight forward farming family and proud producer of quality Organic Olive Oil.

To be classified as organic, olive oil has to adhere production specifications that start out in the field before finishing up in the bottle.
Olea Prilis Olive Oil is organic, and it is certified as an organic product.

This certificate affirms that the Società Agricola Swiss Olives S.S. is registered with the US FDA pursuant to the regulations required by the US laws.
