Their premium olive oils have been produced using this traditional cold press method, earning awards if excellence in many of the world's markets. Reader Reviews Once you taste the finer olive oils, there's no turning back. Primolio is the very first press of a select crop of olives and the taste is exquisite. For those of us who love that strong peppery taste that comes from pure olives, this is the one to try. |
