Pour On The Fresh Flavor®
STAR Olive Oil, the #1 selling olive oil brand in the Western United States, and leader in Total U.S., is available in four flavors, Extra Virgin, Originale, Extra Light, and Garlic, each with its own distinct flavor.
   
STAR Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a blend of the finest ripe olives fresh-pressed within 24 hours of harvest yielding a rich, intense flavor. There is no finer olive oil to use with your freshest foods and in recipes where its deliciously robust flavor will enhance every taste.
   
STAR Originale Olive Oil is 100% pure olive oil made from olives that are fresh-pressed to capture its fine, fruity flavor. With a milder flavor than extra virgin, it's an everyday, all-purpose cooking oil ideal for cooking with high heat.
   
STAR Extra Light Olive Oil has a very mild taste allowing the flavors of other ingredients to come through. It's ideal for baking and frying, and loved by cooks who desire the healthy benefits of olive oil but not a distinct olive taste.
New! STAR Olive Oil with Garlic combines these two rich flavors into an all-in-one oil that can be enjoyed alone, for bread dripping, or as an enhancement to other foods when this rich flavor combination is desired. Great for sautéing and adding to sauces.

Storage/Shelf Life Olive Oil should be stored in a cool, dry, dark place. Never next to the oven or stove. If refrigerated, olive oil will become cloudy. Just remove from the refrigerator approximately 30 minutes before using, to allow it to return to room temperature, at which time the cloudiness will dissipate.

Unopened and stored under proper conditions    2 years shelf life
Once opened, and stored under proper conditions    6 to 9 months shelf life
