OUR OLIVE OILS

The Bay Gourmet Olive OilTHE BAY GOURMET EVOO’s

These extra virgin olive oils are produced using the more modern centrifuge system. These olives are picked over a full day, (approx 1 – 1.25 tonnes) kept cool over night and then pressed early the next morning – starting at  7.30. That’s early for us!

Because of the volume picked and the much larger processing plant we are able to offer these superb (multi award winning oils) at a cheaper price than the Artisanal Traditional methods , the bigger the bottle the bigger the saving to you – the customer.

We have two oils in the bay gourmet brand.

J5 & Frantoio (pressed together) This mix is our more green punchy peppery oil because we pick it earlier when the olives are less ripe.

Grove mix is are slightly more popular oil which can have 4 different cultivars  picked and pressed together – all based on the ripeness of the fruit and the optimum picking time.

These are picked 2 – 3 weeks later giving a good lighter pepper with a slight buttery finish with a soft grassy flavour.  All unfiltered  – quite simply our customers prefer the  100% authentic unfiltered extra virgin olive oil.

These oils are available in  250ml, 500ml, 1litre & 3 and 5 litre “bag in the boxes”.  These oils are great value and the 1 litre bottle in particular is really good value.
