What grocery-store olive oil won't tell you — and what we print on every label.

Polyphenol tested

Antioxidant levels measured and disclosed — the freshness marker most brands hide.

Traceable

Single-origin

One estate, named country. Chile, Australia, Portugal, Spain, Greece. Never blended.

Dated

Fresh-harvest

New crop each season, with the press date on the bottle so you know it isn't old.

Sourced

Veronica Foods

The North American gold standard for specialty oil — and we're an authorized retailer.
