Good olive oil is rated on three “positive attributes” – Fruity, Bitter & Pungent. Our Flavor Profile Meter indicates the intensity of each of these positive flavors.

Fruity
Do not mistake fruitiness for sweetness – think of flavors such as ‘nutty’, ‘green apple’, ‘ripe banana’ and ‘herbaceous’. The higher the intensity of these flavors in the olive oil, the higher the “Fruity Rating”.

Bitter
Just what you’re thinking. Bitter is bitter. Keep in mind, in the right balance with the fruitiness, it’s a very desirable characteristic in olive oil. However, when out-of-balance, bitterness can make an olive oil not very appealing.

Pungent
The peppery burn in your throat! This is a result of the level of polyphenols in the olive oil. Though technically a very pungent olive oil has more polyphenols (powerful antioxidants), it’s important to select an olive oil that you enjoy. Otherwise, those polyphenols aren’t doing anyone any good sitting in the bottle.

Forget what you ‘know’ about Bag-in-Box

Look, we understand that Bag-in-Box has a negative perception from the wine industry, but that’s not going to stop us from choosing the best possible package for our olive oil. At Sciabica’s, part of our ongoing mission is to look for ways to do things better. Whether it’s leveraging new technologies to enhance our product, or exploring ways to further reduce our environmental impact, we are dedicated to quality throughout our company.

Fresh Lock

Our research has shown that BiB is ideal for long-term storage. At the time of filling, all oxygen is vacuumed out of the bag. As you enjoy your delicious olive oil, the bag surrounds and protects it, preventing oxidation and rancidity. In fact, we’ve doubled the recommended usable life of the olive oil in your kitchen.

Quality

Our BiB’s specially-designed bag is both BPA and Phthalate-free, ensuring flavor integrity and olive oil quality.

Sustainable

Transporting empty containers like glass bottles contributes significantly to our carbon footprint. Because an empty “BiB” takes up less shipping space, it reduces fossil fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. In fact, a single truckload of BiBs is equivalent to SIX truckloads of bottles!
