Extra Virgin Olive Oil 3L – DIVO

Extra virgin olive oil in a 3-litre bulk container — for kitchens that need a lot of oil.

DIVO in the 3-litre bulk container is for everyone who cooks or fries regularly or runs a catering kitchen: less packaging, same quality as in the 1-litre glass bottle. Bottled in Southern Italy, at the facility of Basso Fedele & Figli (Campania, founded in 1904).

Flavour profile

Medium-fruity, round, harmonious. Yellow-green colour. A subtle bitter note and slight spiciness in the finish — typical for a clean extra virgin olive oil, but without intrusive or rancid tones. Goes well with everything served daily: salads, pasta, sautéed 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 business 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. Any contact with air initiates oxidation: the oil becomes rancid, the aroma flat, the bitter note unpleasant.

DIVO is bottled on a modern triblock filling line, with low oxygen and under nitrogen protective atmosphere. The result: a fresher, more balanced flavour profile — even after months in the kitchen cupboard.
