Dolium Extra Virgin Olive Oils – Silver (Filtered) & Gold (Unfiltered)

Dolium Extra Virgin Olive Oils are crafted from the finest Italian olives using modern techniques to preserve their quality and flavor. Both the Dolium Silver (Filtered) and Dolium Gold (Unfiltered) oils are produced through low-speed centrifugation, a method that separates the oil from water without causing the olive pulp to heat up, minimizing oxidation and maintaining a rich, concentrated flavor.

These superior category EVOOs are bottled and fully wrapped in foil to protect them from sunlight, ensuring their slightly fruity flavor is preserved and prolonged.

The name Dolium is inspired by the traditional clay potbelly jar used by the Romans to store foodstuffs, including olive oil and wine, during long sea transports across the Mediterranean.

Production Process

The olives used for Dolium oils are carefully harvested through hand-picking (brucatura) or by gently beating the branches with a stick (bacchiatura). They are collected on fine taut nets and quickly transported to the oil mill to ensure freshness. The modern centrifugation process allows for the extraction of high-quality oil with lower acidity and a rich, concentrated profile.

Unfiltered Gold Oil

  • Pros: More intense and fragrant appearance, with micro particles of pulp and olive kernel; packed immediately after pressing for a fresher taste.
  • Cons: May have a deposit of micro particles at the bottom (shake gently to separate), more turbid appearance, and a lower resistance to aging.

Filtered Silver Oil

  • Pros: Improved stability and preservation, higher smoke point, clearer appearance, and better resistance to aging.
  • Cons: Slightly fewer health properties compared to the unfiltered version, though still high in antioxidants.

Key Benefits of Both Oils:

  • Both oils have low acidity, rich color, and high polyphenol content.
  • The filtration process minimally impacts chemical properties, keeping the oils highly stable and nutritious.

Dolium Olive Oils offer a unique and exquisite olive oil experience for those who appreciate quality and tradition.

First time buyer

I normally buy Ranieri EVOO. But since the pandemic the price has doubled and availability is scarce. This is good olive oil, but not as good as Ranieri.

Great Service

The only improvement you could make is, your online reorder icon is hard to find. My preference would be, when I review my last order, you should have a large reorder icon which will take you to the cart to possibly adjust the quantity.
Thanks, you all are great!
