Here’s why our gourmet olive oils are your best choice for this season!

Nov 16 2017

It’s that time of the year again! The holiday season is just around the corner. And this year, we have added three new groves, which means three new gourmet olive oils for you to explore and celebrate with!

At Especially Puglia, all our extra-virgin olive oils (EVOO) are made using single-sourced olives that are harvested in different groves – making each olive oil truly unique. So pre-order your 2017 harvest olive oil gift boxes now to get them by mid-December, right around the holidays. Here’s more on why you should:

Harvest in 2017 has been excellent!

Thanks to the olives being in the pink of health this year, the harvest has been par excellence. And you know what that means – the oil is of truly exceptional quality. We are taking limited quantities of pre-orders for our 2017 gourmet olive oils. 

Freshly-pressed gourmet olive oils

Olives are pressed within eight hours of being picked to ensure the best quality olive oil.

As Julia Child once said – “You don’t have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces – just good food from fresh ingredients.” One of the freshest ingredients you can use in your food is our olive oils. Our olives are pressed within eight hours of being handpicked to ensure maximum freshness. And if you’re reading this in Autumn, it means olives are being harvested, freshly pressed, and bottled in our family farms in Puglia.

High on health and happiness

You are what you eat! No wonder then that Italians are such healthy and happy folks. Their healthy Mediterranean diets make generous use of extra-virgin olive oil.

EVOO’s much talked about health benefits are due to the high level of polyphenols – one of the many antioxidants found in olive oil. However, their numbers do take a downswing over time, which is why it is recommended that you consume only freshly-pressed EVOO.

We work with family-owned olive estates to bring single-source olive oil to our customers.

Crafted by our family farmers

“Every family in Puglia has an olive grove for personal use and they can take their olives to the press. On my visit, there was a woman watching over the pressing of her olives to make sure they didn’t get mixed up with someone else’s.” One of our FarmStay guests, Jessica, who was in Puglia recently, said this on her Instagram account. The craft of producing authentic olive oil using traditional methods is a way of life for us here in Puglia and has been kept alive by local farmers and producers for many centuries now. At Especially Puglia, one of our biggest endeavors is to share this age-old Pugliese tradition with the rest of the world.

100% authentic olive oils

At Especially Puglia, we have redefined how food is made, distributed and consumed. Our farm-to-table approach ensures that you get the most authentic extra-virgin olive oil.  We have made the entire process transparent to our customers. Our FarmStay program allows consumers to become an active part of the life on our farms, and get a hands-on experience of how we actually make our gourmet olive oils.

Adopt An Olive Tree gift box makes for the perfect gift this holiday season!

The bees work hard to produce a sweet nectar that is deserving of packaging that honors their work. In comes #Furoshiki - or the Japanese art of wrapping gifts in cloth. We wrap each order in a bee printed tea towel. This Holiday season why not #gift someone something sweet?

What in the world is a phytonutrient? Phytonutrien What in the world is a phytonutrient? Phytonutrients are the amazing chemicals produced by plants that can support your #health. Common phytonutrients that you might recognize by name are flavonoids and resveratrol (both found in red wine). #Honey is a #phytonutrient powerhouse! In fact, we have these phytonutrients to thank for making honey an antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant-rich treat. Phytonutrients may help to supercharge your immune system, which we probably could use more of this time of year.

The olive harvest is our favorite time of the year. Our 2020 Harvest was abundant - the weather conditions were fantastic, the amount of sunshine the olives got this year means a bountiful extra virgin olive oil. The fresher the oil, the better the flavor! We can't wait to share it with you this winter!

We are thankful for this year's harvest.
This just in! Our Pugliese Caciocavallo is back in This just in! Our Pugliese Caciocavallo is back in stock after "flying off the shelves." Caciocavallo podolico is a semi-hard, pasta filata (pulled-curd) #cheese made of cow's milk from the podolica cow. Hung on a rope and aged to perfection, this cheese is a #uniquegift. Order soon, because we just don't know how long these will stay in stock!
Our olive oil tin is the perfect container for kee Our olive oil tin is the perfect container for keeping the oil at peak #freshness, protecting it from the sun and oxygen, and preventing spoilage. When you buy olive oil, always look for the “harvest date” - the fresher the better. #oliveoil #giftidea #gift
#Oliveoil in #cocktails? Yup, it's a thing and we #Oliveoil in #cocktails? Yup, it's a thing and we love it. Especially Puglia's EVOO #Gimlet is sure to rock your Thanksgiving #cocktail menu. We specifically chose San Giusto because the oil is a #monocultivar made of Coratina olives. In other words it is made from one olive varietal - not a blend. The oil's bitterness and robust notes of green almond are complimented by the sweetness in the honey syrup and carried by the gin. Try it and tell us what you think!

-1.5 oz Gin
-1/2 oz lime juice
-1/4 oz Masseria San Giusto Olive Oil
-1/4 oz Honey Syrup

Method: Shake in a shaker and strain over ice in a cocktail coupe. Garnish with a lime peel.
