Notes from Our Olive Grove

Summer ‘25: Further Raising the Bar

Further Raising the Bar

This summer, our efforts to unlock fresh olive flavor include important field work by our dedicated agronomist, Filipa Grilo. Seen here gathering leaf samples to be tested in our state-of-the-art lab, Filipa is among a handful of experts worldwide who specialize in studying vineyard-style olive groves.

Filipa helps our California grower family better understand how tree nutrition helps drive optimal fruit development. As a result, Corto® is setting the industry’s gold standard for fresh flavor, by which all other oils are judged!

Cooking with genuinely fresh olive oil is the key to making premium ingredients taste even better. Corto® was founded by our late patriarch, Dino Cortopassi, in 2005. Since then, we have remained committed to further elevating the exceptionally fresh flavor of our award-winning TRULY® Extra Virgin Olive Oil!

Until next season, Ciao!
