The SIQEV seal of quality represents the most important things about QvExtra! – the love and respect we have for Extra Virgin Olive Oil of excellent quality (SIQEV EVOO).
We began our mission in 2013, through the work of 15 Spanish producers who were looking for a way to internationally promote EVOO. Currently, we have 36 partners who collectively produce more than 10% of Spanish olive oil.
What is SIQEV?
As previously mentioned, SIQEV is a seal of quality, which you can find on exceptional Extra Virgin Olive Oils.
But, that number is very limited, because in order to bear the seal, an oil must pass a set of rigorous quality parameters which are much more demanding that those outlined in current regulations.
For those who are curious to find out more about these parameters, click here.
As a result, SIQEV ensures that these extra virgin olive oils have extraordinary characteristics: great aromas, exquisite flavour, and a high concentration of healthy compounds.
What are some of the SIQEV EVOOs and where can I find them?
Our extra virgin olive oils can be found on supermarket shelves across the world and on our partners’ websites. In total, there are more than 100 brands that use the SIQEV seal of quality. You can find out which ones by clicking here.
A different EVOO for a every occasion
SIQEV EVOOs are a way of creating new culinary ideas because, as is the case with wine, different pairings produce unique results. There is not one EVOO that goes with everything, nor are they all the same. Some are intense with high levels of bitterness and spiciness, others are sweeter and more subtle, and others have characteristics somewhere in between. A wide range of SIQEV EVOOs can introduce you to new gastronomic experiences.
That’s why we invite you to try different SIQEV EVOOs and experiment with different combinations, and you are sure to see the incredible results!
