ORA in the Kitchen: Decoding the Flavours

Are you ready to upgrade your meals with our premium Extra Virgin olive oil? In this post, our top olive oil sommeliers teach you the flavor profile of each bottle and what foods to combine it with.

ORA is special. Not only is it uniquely high in antioxidants and polyphenols, but the exceptional chemical composition is also reflected in the flavor profile. Due to the variation in polyphenol and micronutrient content in each cultivar of olive, each bottle in our vintage collection has a different flavor profile and now it is time to teach you what to expect from each.
