Bariani Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Bariani is a cult-favorite among purists for its 'raw' approach. It is unfiltered, decanted in stainless steel tanks, and bottled in small batches to maintain the highest possible enzymatic activity.
Ingredients & Purity
Unfiltered and cold-extracted. Produced by a single family on their estate in California using traditional Italian methods.
Scientific Evidence
Registered organic by CCOF. While they do fewer third-party clinical trials, their chemical analysis consistently shows very low acidity.
Brand Transparency
Extremely transparent about their traditional processing; they allow public tours of their milling facility in Sacramento.
Value Assessment
Premium pricing reflects the labor-intensive unfiltered decanting process and organic certification.
Why Not Alternatives?
Most mass-market oils are filtered to increase shelf life, which removes beneficial sediment and flavor compounds. Bariani's traditional settling method preserves the oil's 'living' qualities.
