Discover the Corto Difference

Product Insight
At Corto, we proudly label our olive oil as TRULY 100% Extra-Virgin because it reflects authenticity and quality. While many extra virgin olive oils often go stale during storage, we have taken meticulous steps to ensure ours stays fresh and vibrant.

Our Unique Approach
What sets us apart is our commitment to timing; we don’t wait for winter's over-ripeness. Instead, we thoughtfully harvest olives in the fall when they are at their prime—green with traces of violet. This careful selection process is followed by immediate processing at our mill to produce a remarkable oil.

The Chef's Choice
Our extra virgin olive oil is a favorite among chefs, and for good reason. Each batch is hand-crafted with its intended culinary uses in mind. We understand that fresh flavor has always been at the heart of our family traditions.

A Legacy of Freshness
The Cortopassi family journeyed from Italy to California, bringing with us a legacy enriched with farm-fresh flavors that celebrate “la vera cucina”. Inspired by Nonna Teresa Cortopassi’s wisdom—that great meals start with the finest ingredients—we continue to uphold these culinary values in our kitchens today.

Family Farming - A Noble Tradition
For our family, olive oil has always been central to our cherished recipes. During Nonna’s era, Italian olive oil was derived from handpicked olives in the fall—immensely flavorful and aligned with our passion for authentic food. Unfortunately, as labor became scarce, harvesting transitioned from hand-picking in autumn to mechanical methods that diminished the oil's freshness.

As persevering farmers, we sought to reclaim this tradition by innovating sustainable harvesting methods in the fall, allowing us to produce olive oil teeming with the fresh flavors that Nonna Teresa would have adored. Thus, we created the Corto Olive Company, dedicated to restoring freshness in the olive oil sector.

Fall Harvesting: The Grove
We harvest our olives at the precise moment of ripeness, characterized by their green hue subtly blended with violet.

Cold Extraction: The Mill
Immediately following harvest, our olives are cold-extracted within hours at our on-site mill, preserving their exquisite flavors.

Climate-Controlled: The Cellar
Our oils are kept in a climate-controlled cellar, ensuring they remain impeccably fresh until they are prepared for distribution.

Oxygen-Free, Light-Free: The Packaging
Employing our unique Oxygen-Free FlavorLock Box system, we exclude light and air, sealing in freshness while safeguarding quality.
