Ideal to spice up tartares, grilled meats and pesto
The harvesting of the olives at the beginning of the season gives it its taste of green fruit, powerful, ardent and long in mouth. Great care is taken to select and pick olives that are rather green, from which a fruity oil with clear accents of greenery will be extracted. Its smell will remind you of a freshly cut field. It is a perfect complement to tartars, raw vegetables, grilled meats and pesto.

Frequently Asked Questions
How we make it
What is the extraction method used to make olive oil?
The best extra virgin olive oils are made by cold extraction or cold pressing.
The cold extraction involves the malaxing and centrigugation (spinning) of the olive paste so that the oil is extracted in the form of fine droplets agglutinant to each other in order to be harvested. The first cold pressed process uses a hydraulic press which crushes the scourtins (fibre disks) on which the olive paste is extended. It creates a pressure allowing the oil to be harvested.
Both methods are done at cold temperature.
Nowadays, cold extraction is preferred as a production method, as it is a process that allows a better control of the manufacturing parameters.
Why "extra virgin"?
We often see oils on which the term "extra virgin" is written but it is important to know that the use of the term extra virgin applies only to olive oil and can not be used on other oils.
The term extra virgin is the subject of a standard developed by the International Olive Oil Council and designates the best quality of olive oil. Thus, extra virgin olive oil must have a free acidity level of less than 0.8% and comply with specific organoleptic quality criteria, including the absence of defects and the presence of positive attributes in balance (Peppery, Fruity and Bitter).
Storage
How long can I keep my oils?
Simply read the best before date on the bottle. Generally, an oil will keep for about 24 months after extraction. This will give you an idea of the freshness of the product.
Should I keep my oils refrigerated?
It is not necessary to keep all oils in the refrigerator. They can easily be kept in the pantry, away from heat and light. However, some oils must be refrigerated at all times, such as virgin flaxseed oil.

This oil is delicious in salads and sandwiches. No need for salad dressing or mayonnaise.

Salmorejo (cold tomato soup)
This cold soup, originating from the Andalusia region of Spain, is made with sandwich bread, tomatoes and extra virgin olive oil. Olive oil plays a crucial role in the preparation of Salmorejo. It is the oil that gives it its smooth texture and infuses it with flavor. Our choice? The extra virgin olive oil tasting Fruity Green!
Beef Tartare Appetizers

As soon as Little Bleuette tasted our extra virgin olive oil Fruity Green, she knew it would be wonderful in tartar... and she was right!
As she so eloquently puts it, "It's a little piece of happiness with every bite, perfect as an appetizer"

Fabulous Oil
I'm Italian and I have been looking for an authentic real olive oil of high quality so, trusting the Maison Orphee brand, I ordered 6 bottles. My order arrived quickly, packed beautifully, nothing missing, nothing broken. The taste of this oil is fabulous! Tastes exactly like the real olive oil in Italy. This oil is everything a high quality olive oil should be. I have nothing negative to say about the oil itself. However... The only complaint I have and the reason I didn't give this the 5-star it deserves is that the bottles are not full like they should be. The oil doesn't start until about a centimeter or so below the neck of the bottle - the first 2.5 inches of the bottle is empty - that's a lot of oil missing. So my advice to Maison Orphee is fill the bottles! Do you really think your customers don't notice?

Thank you Francesca for the great review. We are very happy that you really love this product. Looking at the filling of the bottles we are sorry to read that. We have special equipments that are supposed to fill the bottles with the right amount of product. Our bottles can be filled with a little more than 500ml so there should not be any product in the neck and it should start a little under the shoulder, about 3 mm under the shoulder. If this is not the case please contact our customer service as we want to know if it happens to improve our equipments:D. Info@maisonorphee.com or 418-681-1530
