The same composition as Olive oil: the grade is about acidity and extraction, not about the oil itself.

Gluten-free Year round · stored for winter

Let’s cook with it → Invent something with it

What it is for

They carry aroma. Most smell molecules dissolve in fat rather than water, which is why you bloom spices in oil. They also conduct heat, shorten gluten and soften texture.

Where it catches you out

Every fat has its own smoke point. Butter burns at 150 °C, extra virgin olive oil holds to 190 — choose the fat for the job, not the bottle.

The knack

Riviera is a blend of refined and virgin oils; do not assign extra-virgin aroma intensity or acidity classification to it.

Storage and health

How to keep it, and who it suits.

Keeping it

Keep the unopened dark bottle in a cool, dark place for 18 months; after opening, use within 3 months.

Gluten-free

Riviera olive oil is a blend solely of olive oils and contains no gluten.

Glycaemic index

This ingredient carries no meaningful carbohydrate, so it has no glycaemic index. On its own it will not move blood sugar; what you eat alongside it decides that.
