Infusion Press + Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil Bundle

Infused cooking oil is a breeze inside the Ardent FX with the new Infusion Press & Premium Koreneki Varietal Olive Oil Bundle. Finally, no more need for messy straining equipment like cheesecloths and coffee filters! These traditional methods need to be constantly re-purchased, and often absorb usable infused product in the process—the Ardent Infusion Press is your new favorite resourceful kitchen tool!

To use the Infusion Press, begin by decarbing in the FX (sold separately), pour in your oil, infuse, then replace the FX lid with the Infusion Press to easily separate out the raffinate from the usable, infused oil without any loss. This utility tool can be used with the oil of your choosing, or you can pair it with the included bottle of premium, sand-grown, single-source extra virgin olive oil. This olive oil, created exclusively with olives harvested within the first two weeks of the season, is packed with antioxidants and boasts a natural, peppery flavor profile.

This multi-award winning extra virgin olive oil has a grassy smooth, rich, buttery flavor that's excellent on any dish! It is great on salads, breads, vegetables, dips, pasta, and even great for cooking (sautéing, marinating, grilling). This is not your ordinary extra virgin olive oil, it is 100% unblended, REAL extra virgin olive oil from a private estate and single olive variety (koroneiki olive).

While most extra virgin olive oil takes around 4-5 pounds of olives to yield one pound of oil, this Greek estate grown oil takes between 9-10 pounds of fruit for the same yield. Ardent uses young, fresh green olives that are chock full of antioxidants and polyphenols; while 99% of the extra virgin olive oil on the market uses oxidized, rotted, acidic fruit because of the larger oil yield. This specific harvest totes 430 mg of antioxidants per liter, while the market standard is fixed at around 50 mg. More antioxidants also means a significantly longer shelf life!

Grown at sea level, this premium olive oil experience is perfect for infusing, cooking, or eating as-is with bread and herbs. Since the olives are harvested early, before they become acidic, the smoke point in the final product is much higher. That’s right, this is olive oil you can actually use for frying!
