The key criteria for choosing an orange lemon olive oil
1. Origin and extraction method
Authenticity starts with provenance: go for an oil extracted in southern Italy, the region of choice for citrus. Check that the oil is obtained by co-milling, and not by adding flavourings afterwards. This method guarantees a natural aromatic profile, with no artificial notes.
2. Aromatic profile and culinary use
Each orange lemon olive oil has its own balance between lemony freshness and the sweetness of orange. For fruit salads, a dominant orange works beautifully, while a more pronounced lemon note will lift raw fish or a fennel salad. Feel free to vary it with the season and the dish.

3. Sizes, prices and budget
Orange lemon olive oils come in bottles from 200 ml to 500 ml, and sometimes in tasting sets. The price varies with the origin, the method and how rare the citrus is. To try it out or to give as a gift, the small sizes are ideal; for regular use, go for the large bottles or the sets.
