The Mystique Quality About the Name Olio Dei Papi

Olio Dei Papi literally denotes ‘oil of the Popes’ because this oil has been preferred by the Popes themselves for hundreds of years.

The historical, as well as territorial perspective behind the production of this oil, adds a touch of exoticism to it apart from the oil’s premium quality.

The Olio Dei Papi is considered an oil of the highest value with such refined quality that it’s comparable to none other anywhere.

The Uniqueness of Oil of the Popes

What makes this oil a class apart is the exclusive and intense taste that can’t be found elsewhere.

This exclusiveness in terms of quality and taste is because the oil is extracted directly from olives by solely using careful mechanical processes.

There is a reason why the brand and its oil is still called the oil of the Pope – and it’s that this nourishing oil is made according to a strict production specification. And the specification is what ultimately determines the physical as well as chemical properties of the oil – turning it into a delicacy.
