Why We Use UV-Protective Bottles for Our Olive Oil
At Papa Vince, preserving the natural vitamins and antioxidants in our extra virgin olive oil is paramount.
Papa Vince stands out in the olive oil market by not only listing essential vitamins on our nutritional panel—20% DV of Vitamin E and 6% DV of Vitamin K—but also by conducting rigorous lab tests to monitor polyphenol and hydroxytyrosol levels.
These sensitive components can degrade through exposure to light and heat, diminishing the oil's health benefits.
That's why we package our oil in UV-protective bottles, specifically designed to shield it from light and heat during storage and handling.
Unlike clear or plastic containers that can accelerate oxidative damage, our bottles provide a protective barrier, ensuring every drop of olive oil maintains its nutritional quality and robust flavor.
This commitment ensures you enjoy all the health benefits and exceptional taste our oil has to offer.

We have tried other less expensive and more expensive brands and keep coming back to Papa Vince. For us it represents the best on the market! Keep up the quality work that is your tradition, you’re doing it right!
Papa Vince is simply the very best EVOO ever! I use it daily making meals. I especially like the new salad dressing but still enjoy a simple drizzle of EVOO & Balsamic vinegar over my salad.
I simply love ❤️ Papa Vince EVOO! It’s taste is absolutely delicious. And it’s wonderful as both a cooking and finishing oil too. Once you try Papa Vince extra virgin olive oil you’ll be convinced to always have a bottle or three in your pantry at all times.
This olive oil is something special. I find myself reducing ingredients in my dishes so that I don’t overwhelm the taste of my oil. Perfect for salads. My kids delightfully dip their bread in it. I use it to lavishly finish roasted vegetables. I have even had a spoon or two to sooth an upset stomach. If you want elevated cuisine you have to elevate the ingredients. Papa Vince olive oil is in a class all of its own. Worth every penny. It’s inspired many dishes in my kitchen. I’ve added the orange oil as essence to a whipped cream. The flavored oils are fun, but simple is best. I am a fan for life. (Can olive oil change your life for the better? Maybe so!, eat and be blessed)
Papa Vince Extra Virgin Olive Oil is by far the best olive oil I have found. It has exceptional taste and goes down very smoothly when drank straight. I have been drinking about 3 tablespoons a day at night and in the morning and I feel very good. The other olive oils I had tried either did not taste that good, or they made my stomach feel queasy. Not so with Papa Vince's. I have done the fridge test will all the olive oils I have tried, and Papa Vince's olive oil solidifies to a soft waxy consistency after about 12 hours in the fridge. The other oils either did not change at all, or after over a week in the fridge were only partially solid. If what I understand is correct, olive oil that does not solidify is not pure olive oil. In the photos, the yellow container is Papa Vince oil after 12 hours in the fridge, and the white and blue container is another well reviewed brand of olive oil after 12 days in the fridge. (The Papa Vince oil came out beautifully)
I am very happy with my Papa Vince Olive Oil and also the wonderful staff. Vitina has been very helpful and a joy to work with. I will keep buying from Papa Vince.
This is the second time I have ordered olive oil from you. I learned about your product from a Facebook friend who does a lot of gourmet cooking and is a relative of Vitina family. I am very happy with it.
Wrong shipment; purchased two 16.9 oz bottles and received five 3 oz bottles. Sent pic of order yesterday, are you going to correct?
Most excellent olive oil..use it exclusively for about 5 years now..other oils taste almist rancid by comparision
The perfect EVOO for your health. Highly recommend
Quality EVOO with peppery finish.
I have been using Papa Vince evoo exclusively for several years. The taste and texture are wonderful..I take 1 tbsp every morning which helps my skin from the inside out. Also gives me good, healthy fats in my diet. I love Papa Vince.
Delicious!
So. For the taste is very good I can not recommend or. See at some. Until I see the full effect on taking two tablespoons Every. Night. Thank you
I got it to drink a table spoon daily for health
I love it, read the labels of the other oil I had and look at yours, by your olive oil from now on! As Elvis would say thank you thank very much!
Very happy with my order. Packaged extremely well. Excellent olive oil and superb taste. So glad I found you and love your recipes! Mainly purchased for health benefits.
Vitina, your company is fantastic! Professional and dedicated in being patience in letting the customer know about the ingredients and everything else that knows about the product. The taste is superb…peppery taste for sure. GREAT TASTING.
Excellent EVO!!!
Wonderful flavor. Very smooth tasting. Love this Extra-Virgin Olive Oil. This product needs to be on Oprah's Favorite's List!
It’s the best EVOO I’ve ever tasted. I’ve tried others with decorative bottles but the oil was not good. I’m only going to purchase Papa Vince products from now forward!
As previously indicated, was less than pleased with the taste. Remembering what oil tasted like when I was in Sicily, this does not measure up.
Great olive oil!
Love this. The smell, taste and texture all combine to make an elixir of health and happiness
I’ve purchased a bottle or two of Papa Vince olive oil from a few different harvests now. While the most recent one isn’t the richest in flavor that I can remember, it is still excellent olive oil and SO much better than anything you will find at the grocery store. To me, it is absolutely worth the premium price, especially for first press! It is the perfect olive oil for dipping as it has a complex flavor that is great on its own, or sprinkled with some herbs and a bit of sea salt. I would recommend to anyone!
Like the taste, slight peppery. Been taking one tablespoon daily and also in cooking. Color is a pale yellow to green. Really glad I ordered this brand.
The boldness and unique flavor of Papa Vince's olive oil is outstanding. It has a beautiful peppery after taste, which is not overwhelming but also bold. The olive oil has a fresh and earthy taste to it which is great. The family is also so kind and provides high quality customer service!
