Shop / lucini extra virgin olive oil
We're an Italian family from Lucca, Italy, that started our family business, Corto, in California, where we grow our olives and make our oils. We call it TRULY 100% Extra-Virgin Olive Oil because this full-bodied olive oil is the real deal. It is common for extra virgin olive oils to go rancid on the shelf, which is why we've gone to extra lengths to protect ours.
What makes us different is that we don't wait until winter when the olives are over-ripe. Instead, we harvest in the fall, when the olives are at the peak of freshness: green, with just a hint of violet. Olives then come to our mill to produce brilliant oil. There's a reason our extra virgin olive oil is chef used. It's because we hand-craft our oils to match their use.
The Cortopassi family came to California from the Old Country in search of a better life. We had little in the way of material possessions but brought a family tradition of real food based on farm-fresh flavors of "la vera cucina". As Nonna Teresa Cortopassi taught us, "The key to good food is starting with the freshest, best ingredients and cooking them in your own way." Nonna's way is how we still cook today!
Many of our family's favorite foods rely on fresh and flavorful olive oil. In Nonna's time, Italian olive oil came from olives hand-picked in the Fall. It was full of fresh flavor and met our family's passion for good food. However, times changed and, for lack of labor, the olive harvest in Europe evolved from hand-picking in the Fall to mechanical "tree-shaking" in the Winter. The result was oil which no longer tasted fresh.
Because we have always been farmers, we found a new way to grow and pick olives in the Fall, which makes fresh and flavorful oil that Nonna Teresa would embrace! It tastes so fresh and so good that we established the Corto Olive Company! Bringing freshness back into the olive oil industry.
Our olives are harvested at peak freshness when they are green with a hint of violet. They are cold-extracted within hours of being harvested straight off the tree. Our climate controlled cellar keeps our oils perfectly fresh until they are ready to be packaged. Our Oxygen-Free FlavorLock Box system keeps light and air out, but all the freshness in.
Every drop of our oil meets stringent chemistry and sensory standards to be certified extra virgin by the California Olive Oil Council (COOC). We're dedicated to providing you with the best flavor and freshness.
