FAQ

What is ultra-premium extra virgin olive oil and how is it special?

Ultra-Premium (UP) is a new olive oil category that defines the best quality olive oil in the world.

The UP standard was created in response to the growing need to distinguish high-quality extra virgin olive oils from those that dominate the so-called "gourmet" and "premium" olive oil markets, as well as the broader category sold in mass markets under thousands of brands and private labels.

The UP standard is reserved for the world's best extra virgin olive oils. As such, the UP grade exceeds all existing European, Italian, Spanish, Greek, North American and Californian standards for the grade known as extra virgin olive oil. To qualify for the UP class, extra virgin olive oil must meet or exceed a comprehensive set of production, storage, transportation, testing, chemistry and organoleptic requirements.

Extra Virgin Olive Oils are graded according to their acidity levels. The following types are available:

Ultra-Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a new category of olive oil, even less acidic (less than 0.3%) and considered a finishing oil. It leaves a clean and fresh taste on the palate.

Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil will have a bright, vibrant color with a balance of fruitiness, bitterness and hardness and will be less acidic (less than 0.5%).

Natural Extra Virgin Olive Oil is made from cold pressing of olives without any additional heat, refining or processing. With an acidity of not more than 0.8%, it is generally used not for cooking, but for dipping, drizzling and salad dressings.

Not all olive oils are created equal. Ultra-premium extra virgin olive oil like Zagoda is sourced from single-origin estates, cold-pressed within hours of harvest, and tested for high polyphenol levels. In contrast, many mass-market brands dilute their oil with lower-quality, refined, or chemically processed oils, which strip away vital nutrients. Regular olive oils often have a higher acidity level, lack flavor depth, and don’t provide the same health benefits as ultra-premium oils. Zagoda Olive Oil ensures uncompromising quality, unmatched purity, and an exquisite flavor profile, perfect for gourmet cooking and daily nutrition.
