Imported Olive Oil Packed in Italy

Perhaps the most widely-admired olive oils are those that carry the “Extra Virgin” designation. These oils tend to highlight the inherent “green” nature of the olives, and deliver a decidedly fruit-forward experience. On the other side of the spectrum is Trader Joe’s Imported Olive Oil, a blend of extra virgin and refined olive oil that delivers a lighter-colored and more neutral-flavored oil.

Our Imported Olive Oil comes from olives that are harvested throughout some of Europe’s best olive-growing regions – specifically, Italy, Greece, and Spain. The oil is packed in Italy, and shipped to your neighborhood Trader Joe’s. Because the olive’s flavors are less prominent, it’s ideal for use in recipes calling for vegetable oil , and especially in cooking situations calling for higher heat.
