Frequently asked questions
We've got all the answers to your frequently asked questions.
My olive oil arrived looking cloudy or partially frozen. Is that bad? Does the quality suffer?
Not at all. This is completely normal for high-quality extra virgin olive oil.
When temperatures drop, the natural fats in olive oil can begin to solidify, causing it to look cloudy or form small white crystals. This happens most often in cooler weather and is actually a sign of real, minimally processed olive oil.
Just leave the bottle at room temperature for a few hours or overnight and it will become clear again, ready to enjoy. We do not suggest microwaving or any rapid reheating. There is no impact on flavor, quality, or health benefits.
Where are the balsamic vinegars imported from?
All of our balsamic vinegars are imported from Modena, Italy. Like our oils, they're all IGP certified to guarantee quality and origin.
Where are the extra virgin olive oils imported from?
Excellent question! We import our extra virgin olive oils from Calabria, Italy, and they're all IGP certified.
Note: IGP (written as PGI in English) stands for Indicazione Geografica Protetta, or Protected Geographical Indication. It's an official European Union quality certification that guarantees a real, verifiable link between the oil and a specific geographic region.
Are your sauces gluten free, vegetarian, or keto friendly?
Our sauces are gluten free and vegetarian, but unfortunately they are not keto friendly.
What is the shelf life of your sauces?
Our sauces have roughly a one-year shelf life unopened. We recommend refrigerating them after the jar is opened.
Do you ship nationwide?
Yes! Nationwide shipping is available.
I don't want to pay for shipping. Is there somewhere I can pick up in person?

Where does my order ship from?

Who cooks my sauce?
