Acushla Essential Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 2L Bag-in-Box
Acushla Essential Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 2L Bag-in-Box
Perfect for restaurants and frequent cooks. Bag-in-box keeps air and light out so the oil stays fresh to the last pour. Limited quantities from our first shipment.
Acushla is what happens when a family decides to do one thing and do it exceptionally well. Cold extracted from centenarian and native olive trees in the Tras-os-Montes region of Portugal, every bottle is organic, PDO certified, and produced at one of the only facilities in Portugal to hold FSSC22000 food safety certification. If you have only ever cooked with supermarket olive oil, this will change how you think about it.
Tasting notes
The Essential blend. Medium fruity, clean and rounded, with a softer pepper than the Green. Built for volume without losing character.
How to use it
For restaurants, caterers and serious home cooks. The bag collapses as you pour, so no air ever touches the oil. It stays fresh for months after opening, which no bottle can claim. Refill your table pourers from the tap. Store in a cool cupboard, out of the sun.
Pairs with
Line cooking, pasta water, sautés, bases for sauces, salad dressings by the litre, focaccia.

How to use it
Finish
Heat off, oil on. A spoonful over soup, grilled fish, pasta, sliced tomatoes or burrata. This is where the Green and Limited Edition earn their keep.
Cook
Roast, sauté, pan-fry. Real extra virgin holds up to everyday heat better than people think. The Origin tin lives next to the stove for exactly this.
Dip
Bread, a puddle of oil, flaky salt. If it tastes grassy, a little bitter and peppery at the back of your throat, that’s fresh oil doing its job. Pane e olio is the whole test.
