Papa Vince Extra Virgin Olive Oil & Balsamic Set - EVOO First Cold Pressed Dec 2023/24, Balsamic Vinager Aged 8-years in wood made by our family in Sicily, Italy - 16.91 oz each

I started using this olive oil about 5 years ago. I have never tasted anything so wonderful! The olive oil from the stores remind of me of old, rancid oil from a vehicle! So, I never had good olive oil until I bought this brand. The lemon infused oil is just heavenly - light and oh so tasty! The chili flavored oil has delightful kick and spices up food in a most delightful way. The plain oil has a smooth, fresh taste with a bit of a peppery finish, which I have learned, means that it is quality. Last year, I purchased a cheaper brand that had a bunch of awards. What a disappointment. Never again! So, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and try it; you will also fall in love!

We just received two beautiful and large bottles of olive oil and balsamic oil from Papa Vince LLC. We were excited to try the olive oil because of the phenols in it and the authentic taste with the bite at the end. A month ago, we had read an article in AARP about olive oils from the Sicily region that had exceptionally high phenolic properties for improving health and memory by drinking 1/4 tsp a day. We found, ordered and consumed a bottle from another vender. It was good full-bodied oil that had won awards 4 years in a row. It had a reasonably high price, but the bottle was pretty small. We decided to look further and found Papa Vince LLC. We were hoping that, in addition to cooking with Papa Vince Olive Oil, it would have the same healthy properties to boost our health as well. I came upon a YouTube of Vitina and an Italian chef cooking up some Italian food from scratch in the kitchen using their family farm-grown oil and sauce. I checked out their website and the properties of PV olive oil sounded very much like the first olive oil we bought. It was enough to make us want to try the olive oil. So we did. I should have copied down the recipes the chef made! The PV bottle was about the same price, but it is 2-3 times as large as the first oil we purchased. Papa Vince LLC also markets white and whole grain pasta, tomato sauce and sea salt. We ordered the whole grain pasta as well.

I have never had a Moscato Vinegar and I am hooked! I know people who make olive oil and love there but I really like Papa Vince's. The Moscato Vinegar and Extra Olive oil are a wonderful combination to use on delicious salads and pretty much any kind of food calling for Oil and Vinegar. I also take have taken a tablespoon of olive oil for sometime and now I'm taking Papa Vince's Extra Oil as it is so smooth. I also love balsamic vinegar. I can handle strong vinegar but this Moscato Vinegar is perfect. I love them together and I also love giving this combination as a gift which I did this weekend and plan to give as gifts in the future. Happy customer and I am blessed to live in an area where these kind of products are wonderful and plentiful and I enjoy what I've experienced here too but this was especially nice! I highly recommend!

On a recent trip to Italy, my husband and I sampled the best foods of the country, including first cold pressed olive oil and barrel-aged balsamic vinegar. We learned that EVOO should taste grassy on the front of the tongue and peppery on the back. We have four sons—all foodies, one’s a chef—and I wanted to share our experience with them as Christmas gifts without having to carry bottles on a plane. For Christmas 2017, I did extensive research online, including Williams-Sonoma, Sur la Table and found Papa Vince on Amazon. Papa Vince’s oil and balsamic set lived up to my expectations and was declared excellent by all of our sons. Additionally, I experienced the best, most friendly customer service of my life when there was a mix-up with one of my mailing addresses—it was corrected promptly and I now feel like part of Papa Vince’s family. Great customer service prompted me to give ourselves their complete gift basket. I highly recommend all of their products.

I have tried the EVOO, sea salt, and Balsamic Vinegar. All arrived on time and were packaged extremely well. They are fresh and very flavorful. The EVOO had a strong and delicious peppery finish to it, which I liked. It's a treat to cook with these products. I am enjoying a little taste of Sicily.

We have had tried various olive oils on our travels, including Sicily and Israel. Papa Vince is as good as it gets! I have ordered three times and will order again. The packaging is very impressive as well. Makes a great gift set!

Looking for EVOO (at the local grocery store) that is harvested and pressed in one region/country is daunting, so I went on Amazon to see what was available, wrote several brand names down, and researched it online. Papa Vince was on my list, and I was so impressed with their family run and owned business. So, I purchased one bottle—less than a year later—I recently bought two more bottles (making it a total of five so far). I also purchased the Moscato vinegar (EVOO, Moscato, and a little pressed garlic in my salad—yummy!), I use it on a lot of my meals and to cook with. It has a harvest and best use date, non GMO, no pesticides or insecticides or herbicides, the list goes on! I can go on and on, but try it for yourself, you will not regret it. By-the-way, the packaging is consistently done well.Jamie C. — Newport News, VA

This is very good quality olive oil and balsamic vinegar however i think it's a bit overpriced
