De Robertis CHIAROSCURO is a premium quality extra virgin olive oil made only with the highest quality, hand selected Coratina olives grown on our family estate. CHIAROSCURO is characterized by an extremely low acidity and a very high polyphenol concentration value. We never (ever) blend our olive oil.  This commitment to purity and quality results in a truly exceptional extra virgin olive oil with maximum health benefits.

High levels of ‘free fatty acids’ are a testament to the quality of our olive oil and reflective of our care and attention during the entire production process.  From carefully nurturing blossoming olive flowers and maintenance of the soil to immediate milling upon harvest and good storage practices, everything we do on the estate is designed to encourage maximum levels of free fatty acids in the final product.

Year after year our polyphenol levels are among the highest in the industry. Polyphenols are natural antioxidants that are commonly known to host a variety of health benefits including the lowering of cholesterol, blood pressure, and risk of coronary disease.

CHIAROSCURO is a wide and embracing extra virgin olive oil with an intense green fruitiness, hints of artichoke leaf and an elegant spiciness. In the mouth, powerful notes of leafy vegetables are present, including almonds, wild chicory and thistle.

We are very proud of the quality of our extra virgin olive oil and copies of the most recent third party lab analysis reports are always available upon request.
