A LITTLE ABOUT US.........

LOT EIGHT releases 4 oils each year; 2 extra virgin olive oil blends, one single variety extra virgin olive oil and a fusion citus olive oil. 

The oils are bottled unfiltered in dark glass to preserve the characters of the oil, which like wine, sometimes results in small amounts of residue. This is 100% natural and can be discarded before use. We recommend that our oils are stored in a cool dark place to retain their flavours.

LOT EIGHT oils are unfiltered and first tasted for defects as they pour out of the press. They are later tested for Free Fatty Acids and Peroxide levels  and stored in sealed stainless steel drums for a minimum of 8 weeks. These tests ensure that all Lot Eight extra virgin olive oils meet the requirements of the International Olive Oil Council based in Madrid.

At LOT EIGHT, great emphasis is given to time as it is critical for the sediments to settle, a stage directly linked to the quality and taste of the oil. At 8 weeks, samples are drawn from each batch and Nalini begins the seasons blending process. LOT EIGHT oils can be used in salad dressing or drizzled over your favourite dish. They can be used on roasts, grills, soups, risottos, antipastas, pasta, or simply as an accompaniment with bread.

All LOT EIGHT oils are termed condiment oils. It means they are best used in their natural form and preferably at room temperature.
