THE PRISTINE OLIVE
TASTING BAR top priorities today
remain the same as the day they swung
open the doors; to bring Londoners the
freshest and highest quality extra virgin
olive oils and balsamic vinegars available,
and educate consumers on what makes the
difference when it comes to true taste and
health benefits.
WHY DOES “FRESH” MATTER?
The health benefits of an extra virgin olive oil are unmatched, with
research revealing more benefits almost daily. However, not all olive
oils are created equal. “Think of your olive oil as a freshly squeezed
fruit juice,” explains Jamie. “A fresh juice contains the most flavour,
nutrients and health benefits. And just as you wouldn’t want your
freshly squeezed orange juice sitting around for years, an old, poorly
made, improperly stored or fraudulent olive oil yields fewer, if any,
health benefits and has undesirable flavour.”
The Pristine Olive’s standards for extra virgin olive oil were
developed to define and distinguish the freshest, highest quality olive

oils in the world. “The Pristine Olive is the only place in London to offer these high standards,” says Jamie, “The ultimate
in flavour, authenticity, tree-to-bottle transparency and third-party sensory and chemistry lab testing.” This focus
on freshness is guaranteed through the rotation of all their olive oil with every harvest. For half the year, The Pristine Olive
only carries oils produced in the Northern Hemisphere, and the other half of the year, only oils produced from the Southern
Hemisphere. “We never have oils available past the 12-month mark following their harvest date,” says Jamie.
OVER 60 ALL-NATURAL OLIVE OILS & BALSAMIC VINEGARS
Including a minimum of 12 single cultivar extra virgin oils — all available to try before you buy — there is a myriad of choices
to ignite your taste buds. And the value placed on purity certainly doesn’t end with olive oil. As one of the few companies in the
world to offer a truly colour-free product, all of the aged dark balsamic vinegars available at The Pristine Olive are caramel-colour
free, with no added thickeners or sweeteners.
The store also carries many complementary items: natural olive oil soap, pesto, pasta, tapenades and spreads, all made with
the finest ingredients, and of course, loads of their very own, fresh, vibrant extra virgin olive oil. #wherefreshmatters
