Natural Stuff Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a single-ingredient Turkish olive oil, extra virgin grade, bottled in Cape Town in light-protective 250ml amber glass. Nothing is blended into it - no refined olive oil, no seed oils, no additives, no flavourings. It is the same oil you would find in a Turkish kitchen, in a bottle sized for how most South African households actually get through olive oil.
What's in the bottle:
- Extra virgin grade - the highest grade of olive oil
- First cold pressed
- One ingredient: olive oil. No blends with refined or pomace oil
- No additives, preservatives, flavourings or colourants
- 67g monounsaturated fat per 100ml
- Zero trans fat, zero carbohydrate
- Product of Turkey, produced to the Turkish Food Codex olive oil standard
- Bottled and packed in Cape Town, South Africa
- Vegan and halaal-friendly ingredients. Gluten free
Why amber glass:
- Light is what degrades olive oil fastest - faster than time on the shelf
- Amber glass blocks the wavelengths that break the oil down; clear glass and PET do not
- Glass is inert - it holds no odour and leaches nothing into the oil
- Resealable cap, and a 250ml size you finish while it is still fresh
How to use it:
Finishing: drizzle over salads, grilled vegetables, soups, pasta and grilled meat just before serving - extra virgin oil is at its best uncooked, where you can actually taste it.
Dipping: serve in a shallow bowl with fresh bread, a little salt and a grind of pepper. Add balsamic, dried oregano or chilli flakes.
Dressings and marinades: three parts oil to one part lemon juice or vinegar, salt and pepper. Shake and serve.
Everyday cooking: suitable for sautéing, roasting and pan frying at moderate heat. For very high-heat frying, use a higher smoke point oil.
Storage:
Keep the cap closed, in a cool, dark cupboard away from the stove. Olive oil may cloud or partially solidify in cold weather - this is normal and it clears at room temperature.
Ingredients:
100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil. One ingredient. Nothing else. Origin: Turkey. Bottled and packed in Cape Town, South Africa.
