Corto TRULY® | 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil | Floral Notes | Cold Extracted in State-of-the-Art Mill | Straight from Official Corto Olive Groves & Oil Producer | 500 mL

Corto TRULY Extra Virgin Olive Oil: In olive oil, verify origin, pick to bottle time and if it has multiple sourced olives, is probably not Extra Virgin but a mix of various sources. This Corto Truly EVOO in a search is comprised of 3 olive types from Lodi California. The web site and the bottle states lists the olive types. The bottle states the oil is extracted within hours of the fall harvest. I don't know what that means exactly. Olives lose flavor within hours of picking, according to reviews i have read. This Corto has flavor. The smaller narrow bottle is easier to pour on salads. As I get older and look for olive oil I had 20 years ago that was absolutely amazing, I cannot say this is that but definitely better than most grocery store olive oil that mostly is an undisclosed mixed source oil and flavorless. So, I'm giving it a 5 star because it has flavor and is reasonably priced.

It is a very nice, mild olive oil, suitable for sauteing but not particularly flavorful, and with no finish. I would only order it again if I wanted something with an almost neutral flavor. If you don't appreciate the peppery and fruity taste of olive oil, this might be the one for you. For most olive oil uses (salad dressings and finishing) I prefer Partanna robust olive oil.

Corto responded to my complaint, apologized for any inconvenience, and offered a full refund. The company also explained their harvesting and bottling process (see text at bottom.) Since I have not tasted the product, I am awarding 5 stars for customer service. Original review: On October 27 I succumbed to Corto's offer to "Bring the freshest Extra Virgin Olive Oil into your kitchen” by ordering a bottle of Corto TRULY, but was surprised and disappointed to receive a bottle that was harvested a year earlier. The literature included in the package says, “Order your bottle starting October 2, 2023” for the 2023 harvest. I ordered more than 3 weeks after October 2, but received the 2022 harvest. Reply: Thank you for choosing Corto Olive, as we truly appreciate each and every one of our customers. We appreciate any and all feedback as well. At the present time we are currently in the midst of our 2023 harvest season. Our 2023 harvest Truly Extra Virgin Olive Oil will not be available for purchase until January 1, 2024. Our 2022 harvest oil is the freshest that is currently available. We strive to go from olive grove to our mill within 8-hours. Once it has been milled, we store our fresh and flavorful oil in a climate-controlled cellar in stainless steel casks. The oil is then dispensed and packaged as orders come in throughout the year. We harvest in the Fall to ensure that the fruit is at its peak of freshness and flavor. It should be quite aromatic with grassy and floral notes. There should be a peppery and spicy little bite at the end that ensures the oils overall freshness. it also attests to the fact that polyphenols are very much present in the product. Please feel free to contact us directly via the number on the bottle should you have any additional questions. Thank you again for choosing Corto Olive.

Extremely well packaged. It could easily be given as an elegant gift, just as received. The olive oil is excellent. The description is very accurate. This was my second purchase as I was so pleased with the first.

Gracias , este aceite paso la prueba del frio Pero el aceite de oliva puro es amargo ,oloroso y verdoso. Este es ligeramente amargo. Vivi casi un año en medio oriente. Y probe el aceite de oliva artesanal . Es bueno, pero no excelente. Espero algun dia visitar esta granja y ver el proceso. Me encantaria ❤️ adoro el aceite de oliva . Mi abuela me enseño , como identificarlo. Lo usaba en la piel desde niña.
