In Italy, Carli Olive Oil has always only been sold direct from the factory to the consumer. A fleet of over 100 trucks assures prompt direct delivery to more than 700,000 families, over 120,000 of which have been loyal customers for two or more generations. Why are Italians so religious about their Olio Carli? For one, no oil from pomace or any source other than fresh ripe olives is ever used in the production of Carli Olive Oil. Secondly, although the strictest legislation allows a maximum acidity of 1% in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, the maximum acidity allowed by Carli in its olive oil is 0.3%. Olio Carli has been honored frequently at national and international expositions. Embossed on the label of these fine oils you can read the following distinctions: 1927 By Appointment to the Papacy 1937 By Appointment to the Royal Household

Great Oil; Reasonable Price

This oil is light and delicate yet flavorful. Not the most robust oil I've tried, but that's not always desirable anyway. I will be buying this oil again and I recommend it to anyone who cooks with olive oil often.

A Good Oil, not a Great Oil

Received Fratelli's introductory case of 1/2 liter bottles of extra virgin olive oil today. Read many reviews of 5 stars, 4 stars for the rest. I use a lot of olive oil. Some reviewers say this oil is sweet as extremely good oil should be. To me, it initially has a smooth, buttery, olive flavor. A second or two later, it was peppery near the back of the tongue, followed by a slight bitterness further back on the tongue. It is my understanding that many Italians prefer this pepperyness and I am Italian, but I do not. Not sure if my sample is typical. I feel this is a good oil, but not worth full price and I will stick to my Goya Extra Virgin First cold Pressed olive oil.......yes, Spanish olive oil. No bitterness whatsoever, made from very ripe olives....my "Gold Standard" (Goya is very golden)
