Single Estate First Cold Press Extra Virgin Olive Oil by Tre Olive Highly Recommended by Whom You Know!
Choosing a good olive oil can be a daunting task. There are so many to choose from, and most of them are not even made in Italy. Once you think you have finally found a good Italian olive oil, you read the fine print and find out the olives used come from Turkey, Greece, Spain, or who knows where else! It can be extremely difficult to find an olive oil actually made in Italy! Finally, I have found a brand I can trust. Tre Olive Signature Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil is made entirely in Italy, and only from Italian olives. This family owned company takes care of the entire process from start to finish, so you can be sure your olive oil is authentic Italian! Not only is it Italian, it is also delicious! The oil is so smooth and buttery, it made for a perfect base to a salad dressing I made with garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper. I cannot wait to use it in my next culinary creation!
Lately, I have been on an olive oil kick. I've used more in the last 2 months than I have in the last year. I guess that's what happens when you end up cooking more often. When the Single Estate First Cold Press Extra Virgin Olive Oil showed up on my door, I was excited to try it. I like trying different brands of olive oil to find one that I can't live without. I have found it in this olive oil. It was so smooth and creamy that it had a buttery type of flavor to it. I happened to use it to saute some peppers and onions and I couldn't have been more pleased. I can't wait to try this out in other recipes. This extra virgin olive oil will absolutely be kept in stock in my pantry!
Touted as the Tre Olive family favorite, the Signature Estate First Cold Press oil is a buttery, warm, flavorful delight. To show just how buttery the olive oil can be, I whisked it into a sauce with honey, and poured it over popcorn. The result is a cross between caramel corn, and the old movie standby, and sure to surprise . The Tre Olive Extra Virgin Olive Oil is so smooth, it homogenizes perfectly, and drizzles onto your dish of choice with a noticeable body. A hint of the green is in there, giving it a warm flavor, not bitter. The color itself if a soft gold: use this olive oil as you would your finest salt, on dishes where the flavor is part of the equation, as well as the visual. Allow it to be part of your everyday regimen, as the recommended amount of Extra Virgin Olive Oil in our diet is 23 grams per day! Heart healthy, to be sure. Try both of the olive oils from Tre Olive, and see what your tastebuds tell you: real olive oil from a single estate is totally different from commercial olive oil. Perhaps it's the tree to bottle trail, where every drop of olive oil is treated with love. Perhaps it's the family run business, where everyone makes their job part of their life. Or maybe it's your very own "adopted" olive tree, that yields such fragrant stuff (see their website for more information on adoption). Tre Olive makes tasting olive oil a new experience. You'll see the difference in the color, and you'll taste the difference, to be sure.
Tre olive is a wonderful family company in Southern Italy that is producing quality olive oils. As I learned on their website, the tradition, skill and passion for producing olive oil has been passed down from generation to generation. The First Cold Press Olive oil is so smooth and rich that it truly is what they describe as liquid gold. I used it to make a steak and vegetable stir fry. It truly brought out the flavor of the steak without coating it and losing its texture. Perfect for sautéing onions and keeping that rich flavor. Everything seemed fresh and delicious as they press the olives on site which allows them to ripen even more. So the flavor is more buttery and less bitter. This is one of the best olive oils I have ever tasted and is perfect for cooking and for dipping.

Our family has been growing olives and making Extra Virgin Olive Oil in the Calabria region of southern Italy for generations.
In 1934, we opened our first olive mill, and local farmers have entrusted us with their harvests ever since.
The TRE OLIVE philosophy is simple: work hard, treat our customers like family, and create high quality, great-tasting, extra virgin olive oil from some of the finest hand-picked olives in Italy.
In 1970, members of our family left Italy for Western Massachusetts to accept better opportunities. We made sure to return frequently, keeping our strong family bond intact. One thing we always brought back from our visits was our family olive oil – the exceptional extra virgin olive oil made from olives grown on our land, picked and pressed by our family. No other olive oil can come close to that amazing taste.
In 2009, during a visit to the family groves, three (TRE) cousins discussed how we could avoid selling our oil to the large companies who often dilute olive oil with lesser-quality oils from around the world. We know the pride we feel when we share our oil with others and tell its story – our story.
From this proud tradition, TRE OLIVE was born.
100% Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil from olives grown in Italy, picked in Italy, pressed in Italy, and poured in Italy.
TRE OLIVE is the love of family - TRE OLIVE is the love of premium quality olive oil - TRE OLIVE is the love of sharing it with others.
We bring this love to you, direct from our groves in Calabria. Adopt an olive tree, become a part of our family, share in our traditions and passion for olive oil and taste the difference love makes.
