Just thirty miles from Barcelona, but eons away in time, is an ancient village
that produces some of the world’s rarest, healthiest and most delicious olive oil. This hidden land—Olesa de Montserrat—was one of the original and most coveted suppliers to the Roman Empire. The vendor, an esteemed merchant named Verus, was regarded as the most important olive oil supplier in all the Empire. Following the fall of the Empire, this oil was available only locally, to those in the know. Until now. The family that now owns this unique land has granted me the honor to be their exclusive distributor in the United States.
As it has for millennia, today’s Verus brand olive oil is made from the rare Palomar olive, which contains the highest levels of polyphenols possible. Olesa de Montserrat’s unique combination of a dry and hot desert-like climate, plus an unusual terrain of fragile slate-stone slopes, causes their Palomar olive trees to enter into a survival mode in which they generate vast amounts of hydroxytyrosol to survive. And hydroxytyrosol is what creates polyphenols, micronutrients with proven anti-aging properties, helping to treat digestion issues, supporting the immune system, aiding weight management, and helping against neurodegenerative and
cardiovascular diseases.
With Verus, one need only enjoy one-half to one tablespoon per day to benefit from the powerful polyphenols. With regular olive oils, benefits are much more diffuse… if they are present at all. It’s no wonder that olive oil is a key element of the famed Mediterranean Diet—and there’s no finer, healthier oil than Verus. Not only are other olive oils lacking in polyphenols, but also conventional labeling doesn’t reveal where or when the oil was harvested. Olive oil is good for only about three years after harvest. With Verus’s harvest-dated bottles, you can be sure the oil retains its superpowers.
Verus is not just healthy—it’s delicious. It has a slight bite to it with hints of pepper, artichoke and thyme in its flavor profile. This vegan superfood is cold pressed and bottled in dark glass bottles to preserve the quality, protecting the oil from light and heat. Olesa de Montserrat’s meticulous organic care for their trees, and their small-batch production site located at slope’s bottom, creates a minimal carbon footprint and ensures the
highest quality.
Due to the strictly limited supply, and to ensure the best service possible, Verus brand oil is available online only, at www.verusoliveoil.com. We look forward to sharing this extraordinary living treasure with you and your family.
With love,
Chef Coreen Peralta
