Gariga’s flavoured collection starts with Sardinian organic extra virgin olive oil and builds four clear profiles — lemon, rosemary, chilli and garlic.
Based in Ottana, in the heart of Sardinia, Gariga produces classic blends, organic oils, selected monocultivars and ceramic Art bottles. Its flavoured collection extends that oliv-oil identity rather than replacing it.

Gariga is rooted in central Sardinia, where the landscape is dry, aromatic and unmistakably Mediterranean. The producer’s range begins with extra virgin olive oil: everyday blends, organic formats and oils shaped by native Sardinian cultivars. The flavoured bottles belong to the same producer story — they are not anonymous carrier oils with a perfume added later.
Gariga presents the range as organic condiments based on extra virgin olive oil. Natural Mediterranean ingredients give each bottle a clear direction. Where lyophilised ingredients are used, water is removed gently before the ingredient meets the oil, helping retain a recognisable aroma while reducing the moisture carried into the condiment. This is a controlled producer process, not the same as placing fresh herbs or garlic into a bottle at home.
The lemon profile adds a clean citrus lift to fish, shellfish, salads, carpaccio, steamed vegetables and cold pasta. Use it near the end of cooking or directly at the table so the fresh aromatic character stays clear.
The value of a good lemon condiment is precision. A small drizzle can replace several last-minute steps and bring acidity-like freshness without adding lemon juice to the plate. It works especially well where the oil should remain visible and the food should still taste like itself.
Rosemary gives the oil a warm, resinous Mediterranean character. It suits roast potatoes, focaccia, lamb, grilled vegetables, beans and rustic bread. Brush lightly before roasting, then add a fresh drizzle after cooking for a clearer aroma.
The chilli version is designed to add warmth while keeping the olive oil present. It is a natural partner for pizza, pasta, legumes, grilled meat, soups and bruschetta. Add gradually: the best result supports the dish rather than overwhelming it.
Garlic brings depth to pasta, bruschetta, roast vegetables, marinades, beans and grilled food. The prepared condiment gives a repeatable garlic character without needing to crush fresh cloves every time, while the extra virgin olive oil remains the base of the flavour.

I finally had the chance to sit down and try all of the olive oil samples properly. I have to say, the overall quality of your selection is outstanding; it genuinely made it difficult to choose a favourite.
However, specifically regarding the Heritage Bio 2025/2026, I found it to be truly exceptional. It is on another level, especially for the raw fish salad; the balance is perfect.
