Really Natural Foods: Terra Verde Extra Virgin Olive Oil

When you think of Texas, you probably don't think of olive oil. Recently, we were sent a bottle of Terra Verde Extra Virgin Olive Oil by Texas Hill Country Olive Company. This product is "estate grown & hand picked", as well as being 100% natural and cold pressed.

Texas Hill Country Olive Company is a family run artisanal olive orchard near the town of Dripping Springs, Texas. Our land is located in the Central Texas Hill Country, the perfect environment for growing olive trees.

The idea to offer individuals an opportunity to adopt an olive tree in the Texas Hill Country was conceived by John Gambini. Together with the Mensik Family, John turned the idea into a reality. Texas Hill Country Olive Company is an organic olive tree farm focused on developing some of the finest olive oil produced in the United States. We are proud to join the pioneering group of entrepreneurs who are building the olive oil industry in the state of Texas.

What I don't understand is if the farm is organic, why isn't the olive oil? This olive oil has a very pleasant flavor, but organically-grown is best for health and our planet. For now, I think I will stick to Napa Valley Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil because it is made closer to home and carries the USDA organic label.

Disclosure: I was sent free samples of these products to review. No prior assurances were given as to whether the review be positive or negative.
