A note to our customers regarding the authenticity of our Olive Oils
At Nelson Olive Oil we take pride in maintaining relatively stable pricing with only slight increases in our range of Extra Virgin Olive Oils, particularly amidst the current scarcity of olive oil.
It's important for everyone to stay informed about market conditions and to be vigilant against any products that may be misrepresented or lacking in quality and authenticity. This issue not only affects traditional olive oil channels and markets but also extends to various sales channels, including the gourmet segment where premium products are prevalent.
Our supplier Veronica Foods remains at the forefront of maintaining quality standards and has the capability to test and verify claims in which they have already encountered instances of companies falsely claiming to offer certain varieties or misrepresenting crush dates.
We assure you that all of the information we provide is accurate and up to date in our store, and on our website.

Pairings
All our Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oils are supremely capable at blending with any of the vinegars we offer. They also create incredible dishes on their own and excel in sautéing, frying, marinades, salads and a whole host of other culinary applications. EVOO has a relatively high smoke point, contrary to some information you may have heard!
Recipes
Feel free to use NOOC Extra Virgin Olive Oil in any of our recipes and then add other flavourings (herbs, spices, citrus etc.) or blend with our Flavoured Oils.

Apple Pomegranate Salad w/ Blue Cheese and Shallots
A lovely crispy, nutty and cheesy salad that will catch your taste buds by surprise! It features our Herbes de Provence Olive Oil and Pomegranate Quince White Balsamic for the perfect combination of savoury and sweet. We used red leaf lettuce but any greens will do and you can substitute goat cheese or feta if you’re not a fan of blue cheese. Great on it’s own, or a side to chicken or pork!
