I don’t think there’s anyone left who hasn’t heard about the benefits of olive oil. But what no one mentions—apart from ensuring the oil you buy is genuine olive oil—is which type of olive oil actually contains these benefits. To put it simply, there are two main types of olive oil: refined and unrefined. Whenever health benefits of olive oil are discussed, know that these apply to unrefined olive oil, whether it’s labeled as virgin or extra virgin. On the other hand, when heat stability is mentioned, that refers to refined olive oil. So, the type you choose should depend on how you plan to use it. If you’re using it for salads, Marinade, sauces, or lightly sautéing ingredients over low heat, opt for unrefined olive oil.
Fitoli Virgin Olive Oil is made from the best Hand-picked olive varieties of Tarom city’s groves.
The reason for blending multiple olive varieties lies in the Iranian palate, which typically favors oils with a milder flavor profile.
When you taste this oil, you’ll detect aromas of banana, cucumber, and fresh herbs, accompanied by a brief, pleasant warmth at the back of your throat.

Depending on where you want to use it, you should consider the type of oil. If you want to use it in salads, marinade, dressings, or slightly sautéing food over very gentle heat(Stir-fry), you can use unrefined olive oil. If you want to use it for those purposes plus frying, or if you don't like the taste and smell of virgin olive oil, you can opt for refined olive oil.
Yes, but not all types. For deep frying, refined (light) olive oil is the best choice due to its higher smoke point. However, it's worth noting that olive oil isn't the most cost-effective option for frequent deep-frying.
Yes, but it’s not suitable for high-heat frying. Due to its sensitivity to heat, virgin and extra virgin oils are recommended only for gentle sautéing and Stir-Fry

At Fitoli, we use only the best handpicked olive varieties from the orchards of Tarom to produce virgin olive oil that meets global quality and safety standards. We are committed to maintaining consistent quality both in sensory characteristics (taste, aroma) and chemical composition (purity, acidity levels). We carefully select and blend multiple olive varieties to create a flavor profile that suits the Iranian palate—smooth, well-balanced, and mild, without overpowering bitterness. Tasting Notes: When you taste Fitoli Olive Oil, you’ll experience delicate notes of: Banana, Cucumber, Fresh herbs A slight, pleasant peppery sensation at the back of your throat confirms its authenticity and high polyphenol content—a sign of a true, fresh, extra virgin olive oil.
The best method is to keep it in a cool, dark place - this way it can maintain its quality for over 18 months. Just remember: once opened, always tighten the cap immediately after each use, and try to consume it relatively quickly so you don't miss out on its beneficial properties.
If you want to store your oil in the refrigerator, keep in mind that the low temperature can cause it to become cloudy and solidify, but when left at room temperature for a short while, it will return to its normal state.
Absolutely. However, the key point is how it's stored and used. The more heat the oil is exposed to, the more of its beneficial properties are lost. But when used properly, you can certainly rely on olive oil's benefits—especially for the cardiovascular system and blood-related factors like lipids, cholesterol, and blood sugar.
