Pompeian works directly with farmers, which ensures that only the finest olives are selected for our oil and allows for full traceability of our products. Our Smooth Extra Virgin Olive Oil is extremely low in acidity and is blended with select olives to create a mild, delicate flavor that is perfect for sauteing, sauces and stir-frying. Plus, Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the first olive oil to attain the USDA Quality Monitored seal, which verifies that it meets the rigorous quality, purity and traceability requirements. It is also certified Non-GMO by the Non-GMO Project Organization.
