Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oils

At Havasu Olive & Garlic Company, we proudly offer an extensive selection of Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oils sourced through the internationally recognized Veronica Foods Ultra Premium (UP) Standard. This rigorous program focuses on freshness, authenticity, chemistry, and exceptional flavor.

Unlike many mass-produced grocery store oils, we carefully select each oil for outstanding quality. We also conduct extensive laboratory testing to ensure every product meets strict Ultra Premium standards. As a result, you enjoy exceptionally fresh olive oil with vibrant flavor, natural antioxidants, and excellent culinary performance.

Freshness Matters

Freshness plays a critical role in producing exceptional Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Unlike wine, olive oil does not improve with age. It delivers its best flavor, aroma, and nutritional value when fresh.

Olive harvests occur at different times across the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Because of this, we rotate our inventory throughout the year to feature current harvest oils. This approach allows us to offer some of the freshest oils available. Many store-bought oils sit in warehouses or on shelves for months or even years.

We source our oils from top olive-growing regions worldwide. These include Spain, Italy, Greece, Portugal, Chile, Australia, Argentina, California, Tunisia, South Africa, and others as new harvests become available.

What Makes Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil Different?

Not all Extra Virgin Olive Oils offer the same quality.

To meet the Veronica Foods Ultra Premium (UP) Standard, each oil must pass strict quality requirements. These standards go far beyond basic international guidelines.

We select our Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oils for:

• Exceptionally low free fatty acidity
• High levels of natural polyphenols and antioxidants
• Outstanding freshness and stability
• Superior aroma and flavor
• Verified purity through laboratory testing

Many early harvest oils contain high levels of polyphenols. These natural compounds create the peppery finish found in premium oils. They also contribute to many of the health benefits associated with Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Cold Extracted for Exceptional Quality

We cold extract our Extra Virgin Olive Oils without excessive heat. This process helps preserve delicate aromas, vibrant flavors, antioxidants, and beneficial compounds found in fresh olives.

Each olive variety and growing region produces a unique flavor profile. Some oils taste delicate and buttery. Others offer fruity, grassy, or herbaceous notes. Some deliver a bold, peppery finish. You can find an olive oil to match every taste and cooking style.

Olive Oil Color Doesn't Determine Quality

Many people assume greener olive oil means better quality. This is not true.

Olive variety and natural chlorophyll levels determine color. Some high-quality oils appear bright green, while others show golden tones. Flavor, freshness, chemistry, and testing—not color—define a truly premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Storing Your Olive Oil

Store your olive oil in a cool, dark place to maintain freshness. Keep it away from heat and direct sunlight.

We bottle our oils in dark glass to protect them from light exposure. This helps preserve flavor, aroma, and quality. For the best experience, enjoy your olive oil while it is fresh.
