Antonio's EV Olive Oil

Cujak's Wine Market, llc featuring Antonio's Olive Oil

Olive oil is a lot like wine. It does not like air, light or heat. It prefers to be kept in the basement where it is dark, cool and humid. It also oxidizes once open, so make sure to use it before it goes rancid. To check if your oil is rancid taste it; if it tastes buttery then it is bad. Good quality oil last for a year once opened; if properly stored.

All of Antonio’s Olive Oils are 100% extra virgin. That means the olives went thru a cold press and the oil is very low in acid and very high in taste.

Health Benefits
Olive oil is extremely healthy for you. It is high in monounsaturated fat, which is linked with a reduction in heart disease. It is good for your cholesterol and LDL cholesterol oxidation. It is also good for anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic and antihypertension. Olive oil is great for ulcers, gastritis and gallstone prevention too.

We invite you to taste before you buy and watch as your favorite oils are bottled for you to ensure the highest quality.

Current Oils

Garlic This is an Extra Virgin Olive Oil that has had the essence of fresh roasted Garlic added. It is so rich, fragrant and sweet tasting, it has more uses than we could possibly list here.
Meyer Lemon Lemons are crushed with olives to produce this oil with a unique lemon flavor. Everyone who tries it wants a bottle for their pantry, it has so many possibilities.

Red Wine Vinegar A northern Italian red wine vinegar--sweet and smooth, with a hint of oak, chestnut and cherry wood. They make wine that is specially for vinegar. A must try!

Picual 500 polyphenols and 80+ oleic acid from Chile-Fig and bark attributes stand out; strong personality; high oleic acid content contributes to slightly longer shelf life.

Athenolia from Greece--is a rare Grecian oil from a 3,000 year old tradition. The king of olives, the Athenolia is said to have sustained the Spartans. Prized oil, it is well known for its fruitiness, aroma and durability, ensuring great flavor for a long time. It will complement any salad with all types of vinegars. It is a natural in chicken and lamb dishes and being bold, it will add great flavor to sauces.

Arbequina from Chile has a wonderful rich green color and a well balanced fruity aroma and flavor with hints of apples, kiwis and herbs. It has a medium intensity which leaves a slightly spicy tingling at the back of the mouth and in the throat.

White Truffle Oil Currently Out comes in small bottles, a little goes a long way. Truffle oil is not used in cooking, as the heat adulterates its flavor. Instead, add after a dish is prepared or used in salads and other cold dishes. Flavorful enhancement for steak, pasta, fried eggs, mushroom dishes and cheese.

Balsamic vinegar
Balsamic vinegar is a thick, sweet vinegar made from the Trebbiano grape. Native to Italy, balsamic vinegar is produced and then aged in wooden barrels.

We currently carry two vinegars. One is aged up to 18 years and the other is a Fig Balsamic. Both have sweet and fruity flavors that are perfect condiment for salads, cheese, and fresh berries.

Use as a baste for roast or grilled meats. Drizzle over vanilla ice cream for a unique topping. I also use it in salad dressings, dipping bread, in sauces, or as part of a marinade. I love the flavor.
