From Ancient Orchards to Modern Tables—Why We’re Still Swooning Over EVOO
For thousands of years, olive oil has been revered as more than just a kitchen staple—it’s been a symbol of health, wealth, and divine flavor. The ancient Greeks called it “liquid gold,” not only for its luscious color and rich taste but for its cultural weight, spiritual symbolism, and countless benefits that transcend time. At The Bodacious Shops, we like to think of our olive oil not just as an ingredient, but as an heirloom—something sacred, nourishing, and deeply rooted in tradition.
From the groves of ancient Crete and Rome to the sun-drenched hills of Spain and Italy, olive oil has always held a starring role. It was used to anoint kings, light lamps in sacred temples, and heal wounds. Olive branches symbolized peace and prosperity, while the oil itself was liquid treasure—pressed by hand, drop by precious drop, from the fruit of hardy trees that could live for centuries.
Fast forward to today, and olive oil has kept its crown. Its prestige hasn’t faded—in fact, it’s evolved. With modern science confirming what ancient wisdom always knew, EVOO is now recognized for its heart-healthy fats, potent antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory magic.
At The Bodacious Shops, our olive oils are sourced from MillPress Imports, a family-owned company that specializes in curating the freshest extra virgin olive oils from both hemispheres. Each bottle is a testament to traditional craftsmanship and modern expertise, harvested at peak ripeness and cold-pressed to preserve the natural flavor and nutrients.
Whether you prefer a Mild, Medium, or Robust intensity, our regional EVOOs reflect the terroir of the groves they come from—grassy, buttery, peppery, or floral. Each taste tells a story.
Flavor That Transforms: A drizzle can elevate even the simplest meal—think ripe tomatoes, crusty bread, or grilled veggies.
A Health Halo: Rich in polyphenols, EVOO is linked to longevity, glowing skin, reduced inflammation, and better brain function.
A Cultural Icon: EVOO connects us to centuries of culinary and cultural tradition—one bite and you’re instantly transported to a sun-dappled Mediterranean orchard.
Ready to start your own love story with liquid gold? Here are a few ideas:
Taste It Pure: Try an olive oil tasting flight—sip each type with a spoon, or dip bread and note the subtle differences.
Drizzle Freely: Over fresh greens, roasted meats, cooked grains, even ice cream (yes, really).
Pair it with Balsamic: Create your own vinaigrette with your favorite Bodacious balsamic (Traditional 18-Year or Sicilian Lemon, anyone?) and find your signature blend.
Olive oil is more than an ingredient—it’s a ritual, a reward, a connection to the earth and the hands that pressed it. At The Bodacious Shops, we’re proud to offer oils that honor tradition, taste incredible, and make every meal feel like a celebration.
Whether you’re discovering EVOO for the first time or have been pouring it with love for years, we invite you to taste the passion in every bottle.
Because when you cook with liquid gold, every dish shines.
