Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1L – DIVO

Extra Virgin Olive Oil — bottled in Italy, for daily use.

DIVO Extra Virgin Olive Oil is bottled in Southern Italy — at the Basso Fedele & Figli facility in San Michele di Serino (Avellino province, Campania). A family business founded in 1904. Made for cooking, frying, marinating, and dressing — not for decoration on a shelf.

Flavour profile

Medium-fruity, round, harmonious. Yellow-green colour. A subtle note of bitterness and light pungency on the finish — typical of a clean extra virgin olive oil, but without intrusive or rancid tones. Goes with everything that ends up on the table daily: salads, pasta, roasted vegetables, fish, bread. Does not mask the natural flavour of the ingredients.

Bottled in Italy

DIVO is bottled at the Basso Fedele & Figli S.r.l. facility in San Michele di Serino (Avellino, Campania) — strategically located between the ports of Naples and Salerno. DIVO is one of the most important brands of the Basso Group, an Italian family company that has been producing olive oil since 1904. Basso supplies markets across Europe and worldwide.

Why it stays fresh longer: the bottling process

Olive oil is sensitive. What ruins the flavour is usually not the olive — it is the oxygen that gets into the oil during bottling. Every contact with air triggers oxidation: the oil becomes rancid, the aroma flat, and the bitterness unpleasant.

DIVO is bottled on a modern tri-block system in a low-oxygen environment using nitrogen protective atmosphere. The result: a fresher, more balanced flavour profile — even after months in the kitchen cupboard.
