SHOP THE INGREDIENTS
Warm, fruity and nutty. ILĀ's cold-pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil comes from a 100-year old mill situated among the ancient groves of Andalusia, where olives are hand-picked and pressed on the same day to ensure the utmost flavor and freshness. The cold, bright winters and hot, dry summers of the Southern Spanish region of Cordoba create prime conditions for producing olives of exceptional quality and a richer, smoother olive oil with a more golden hue than its Italian counterpart.
Sweet, woody and deep. Native to Mexico, and reliant on the Mexican mountain bee for a natural pollination, ILĀ's cold pressed extract is derived from vanilla orchids that mature slowly — insuring a deep, fragrant flavor. Darker and richer than Madagascar and Tahitian vanilla, with a robust and intoxicating taste.
