7 THINGS THE OLIVE OIL INDUSTRY DOESN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW

The 'extra virgin' olive oil on your supermarket shelf is probably stale, blended from four different countries, and has lost most of what makes olive oil worth buying in the first place. Here's what a UC Davis study, your own palate, and 140 years of Sicilian harvest have to say about it.

1. YOUR 'EXTRA VIRGIN' IS PROBABLY NOT EXTRA VIRGIN

A UC Davis study tested imported 'extra virgin' olive oils on American supermarket shelves. 69% failed the taste and chemistry tests required to legally carry the label. The word on the bottle doesn't mean what you think it means. Di Marco Olio is third-party certified, cold-pressed within 48 hours of harvest, and prints the harvest date on every bottle. You can prove what you're buying.

2. IT'S STALE BEFORE YOU OPEN IT

Olive oil isn't wine. It doesn't improve with age, it degrades. Most supermarket oils were pressed 12 to 18 months before they hit the shelf, sat in shipping containers in the summer heat, then waited again in your cabinet. By the time you pour, the polyphenols, the compounds that make olive oil actually taste, smell, and behave like olive oil, are mostly gone.

3. YOU'VE NEVER TASTED WHAT FRESH ACTUALLY IS

Real olive oil is bitter. It's peppery. It catches in the back of your throat on the finish, that burn is polyphenols at work. The smooth, mild, 'light' oil in the grocery aisle isn't bad oil. It isn't oil, it's a flavor-stripped substitute. One spoonful of the real thing, warmed in your palm, will tell you the difference in three seconds.

4. YOU'VE LOST 60–80% OF THE HEALTH BENEFITS

The compounds that make olive oil famously good for you, oleocanthal, oleic acid, polyphenols, are potent anti-inflammatories that break down within months of pressing. Grocery oil still looks like olive oil. It just doesn't do what olive oil's supposed to do. If you're using it for your heart, your joints, or your cholesterol, the age of the bottle matters more than the brand on it.

5. 'PACKED IN ITALY' ISN'T 'MADE IN ITALY'

Read the back label of any 'Italian' olive oil. Most are blended from Spain, Greece, Tunisia, and Morocco, then shipped to an Italian port to be bottled. That's all 'packed in Italy' means. Di Marco Olio is grown, pressed, and bottled on one single estate in Cefalà Diana, Sicily, by one family, from olives they hand-picked themselves off their own trees. There is a difference. You can taste it.

6. REAL OLIVE OIL HAS A HARVEST DATE. CHECK YOURS.

Like wine, real olive oil tells you when it was made. Ours is printed on every bottle. Yours, probably doesn't have one. If there's no harvest date on the label, you're buying oil that could be two or three years old. We bottle the 2025 harvest now. 2026 pressing begins in November. One press a year — eight days in November, when they're gone, the 2026 starts at full price.

7. THE FIRST POUR CHANGES EVERYTHING

Pour a spoonful into your palm. Warm it. Smell grass, green tomato, fresh artichoke. Sip, you'll taste clean fruit, then a peppery kick that hits the back of your throat. That's what olive oil is supposed to do. Our guarantee is built around this exact moment: if the first pour doesn't stop you, we refund you in full. No questions.

If the first pour doesn't stop you, we refund you.

Every claim on this page stands or falls on one moment: the first time you open the bottle and pour it in your palm. If it doesn't smell and taste unmistakably different from anything you've poured from a supermarket bottle, fresher, grassier, with that peppery burn in the back of your throat, we refund you in full. Every cent. No questions, no forms.

Our Story

The Di Marco story began more than a century ago, when the family planted their first Biancolilla and Nocellara del Belice trees in the hills of Cefalà Diana. For generations, they cared for the same land,through wars, droughts, and hard years,never once abandoning the craft.
What began as a small mill producing only a few hundred liters slowly grew into a symbol of Sicilian pride.
In the 1980s, Giuseppe Di Marco elevated the estate to new levels of quality, and today his children continue the tradition, hand-harvesting the very same groves.
Now, for the first time in the family’s history, this oil is being shared beyond Italy,crafted with the same care, on the same land, by the same family.

Customer photo review of Di Marco Olio Sicilian Olive Oil

We purchased a 3 bottle package and gave one to the owner of Sirenas - Eatalian, our favorite Italian Restaurant. The 30+ year owner, Fabio, takes pride in every menu item, recipe and the perfect preparation and presentation of every dish, utilizing many ingredients he can can only source directly through Italy, so we knew he would possess the expertise to fully enjoy the DiMarco Olio. His response was as expected . . . Phenomenal Consistency and Taste!

Definitely can tell a difference in flavor from my usual oil. Created an amazing amogio sauce with it.

Di Marco Olio Sicilian Olive Oil

Best tasting olive oil I’ve ever had. I ordered 2 bottles and was going to give one away, but it tasted too good! 😂

Di Marco Olio Sicilian Olive Oil

Absolutely the best olive oil I have tasted. When you open the bottle and pour it out you can smell the wonderful aroma!!

Di Marco Olio Sicilian Olive Oil

I order 3 bottles at a time because I blow through this oil! It’s really unique to get an oil like this in the states. You can smell Sicily in the bottle, it’s amazing and worth the price, wish there were larger bottle options.

Di Marco Olio Sicilian Olive Oil

Purchased it because it is from my family name as well. DiMarco from my father's side. He was born in America 1933 Domenick and his father Galliano was born in Italy. The oil is delicious. I gave one of my bottles to my brother Christopher.

Di Marco Olio Sicilian Olive Oil

Amazing, fresh taste. Thought I was crazy at the cost but it is well worth it. Just love it.

Di Marco Olio Sicilian Olive Oil

What went wrong is we never received the order, you ignore multiple e-mails to support and I am left leaving you this negative review to get a message to you? Hoping you see this.

Di Marco Olio Sicilian Olive Oil

It's just as described, aromatic and peppery. I'll be ordering more when the time comes.

Di Marco Olio Sicilian Olive Oil

Your oil is really good... the reason for the 3-star rating is how it came to me. Not a great presentation for a premium oil that costs that much.

Di Marco Olio Sicilian Olive Oil

This olive oil is exceptionally well-balanced; it has a remarkably buttery texture and generous lingering finish.

Di Marco Olio Sicilian Olive Oil

So far this has been a wonderful purchase, from shipping an receiving to using this olive oil and recommended

Di Marco Olio Sicilian Olive Oil

Absolutely delicious, could drink it from a spoon. I had an issue with my order and they rectified it immediately, great customer service.

Di Marco Olio Sicilian Olive Oil

This was the first high-end olive oil, outside of a restaurant experience, I have ever purchased. It’s excellent - to my uneducated palate, anyway. Now I have to find high-end bread to pair it with! First world problems.

Di Marco Olio Sicilian Olive Oil

After living in Europe for 25 years, we (my husband Jeffrey and I) have had the opportunity to use and enjoy quality olive oils, mostly Spanish and Italian. I would rate this olive oil in the top five, especially to be used as a finishing oil. The first taste is extremely clean, but then develops notes of pepper, cut grass, and fresh herbs. It is absolutely worth every penny, and we will be purchasing it again. Ten stars! -Shari Rhoads Agrell

Di Marco Olio Sicilian Olive Oil

Excellent small-batch Italian extra virgin olive oil with a wonderfully fresh, rich flavor. One of the best EVOOs I’ve tried, highly recommended!

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?

Three checks: (1) Harvest date on the label, if there isn't one, assume it's 18+ months old. (2) Taste, real EVOO is bitter and peppery, with a burn in the back of your throat. Smooth and mild = stale or low-grade. (3) Packaging, if it's in a clear bottle under store lights, light has already oxidised it. Real oil is sold in dark glass.

Polyphenols are the naturally occurring compounds that make olive oil famously good for you, they're what's behind the cardiovascular, anti-inflammatory, and longevity research you've read about. They're also what creates the peppery burn when you taste real EVOO. The catch: they break down within months of pressing. A fresh, harvest-dated oil has them. A two-year-old supermarket oil has lost most of them. Same label; different product.

You're comparing two different products. $10 supermarket oil is typically blended from 3–5 countries, bottled months or years after pressing, and has lost most of its polyphenols. Di Marco Olio is single-estate, cold-pressed within 48 hours, harvest-dated, third-party certified, and ranked third globally at international competition. It's closer to buying a good bottle of wine than comparing wine to grape juice.

Two ways to try it. One-time bottle: $85, a single 500ml of the 2025 harvest, no commitment. Subscription: $39 first bottle, then $65 per bottle at your chosen frequency (monthly, bi-monthly, or custom), a 24% permanent saving, ideal if you cook with olive oil most days. Cancel anytime before your next shipment, no charges, no emails required.

Cool, dark cabinet, away from the stove and away from direct light. Do not refrigerate (it'll solidify and cloud). Use it within a few months of opening, and within 12–18 months of the harvest date on the bottle. We don't recommend saving it for 'special occasions', polyphenols peak in the first months after pressing, so it's at its healthiest the day you open it. Use it daily; that's the whole point.

Full refund. Every cent of your first bottle, no questions, no return required. The whole page rests on one claim: that pouring this in your palm and smelling it is unmistakably different from anything you've bought in a store. If that doesn't happen for you, we haven't earned your money.
