Say hello to fresh extra virgin olive oil.
Chefs across the US trust Corto because we treat olives as what they are — fruit. Rather than picking them when they’re black and rotten, we gather them at their freshest using over-the-row harvesters. It’s our way of reminding the world of the flavors we’ve been missing out on — olive oil, the way it’s supposed to taste.
