Choosing olive oil with an understanding of flavour and quality

Good extra virgin olive oil is more than a product in a bottle. Origin, olive variety, harvest timing, freshness and production methods all shape its character. Some olive oils are mild and delicate; others are bold, green, bitter or peppery. At De Olijfolie Shop we select distinctive olive oils for their flavour, quality and origin, helping you find not just a beautiful bottle, but the oil that suits your dishes and personal preferences.

The Olive Oil Academy: understanding what you taste

Why can bitterness be a positive quality in olive oil? What does a laboratory analysis reveal about quality? How do Spanish, Greek, Italian and French olive oils differ? In our Olive Oil Academy (in Dutch) we explain these topics through accessible, informative articles. From harvesting and olive varieties to tasting, storage and use in the kitchen. Choosing olive oil becomes easier and more enjoyable.

From award-winning producers to your kitchen

Our range includes olive oils from specialist producers and internationally acclaimed makers. Yet the best choice is not simply about awards or medals. The right oil makes a difference at the right moment: fresh in a salad, elegant with fish, bold with vegetables or surprisingly good with a simple piece of bread. Discover our award-winning olive oils and taste just how varied extra virgin olive oil can be.

Our aim: to help you discover the olive oil that truly suits you, rather than simply sell you a bottle.
