John and Shirley’s Catering. Fantastic Food for Every Occasion. Serving clients across Central Florida including Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach, Daytona Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Meyers, Gainesville, Heathrow, Kissimmee, Lake Mary, Maitland, Mount Dora, Naples, New Smyrna Beach, Ocala, Orlando, The Villages, Vero Beach, Windermere, Winter Springs and Winter Park.

Senorio de Ibros olive oil effects the taste, flavors and cooking experience for each recipe it’s used by Orlando caterer John and Shirleys Catering every time they step into the kitchen.

Whether for an appetizer with Johnny Kabobs Dipping Spice before a meal, to preparing Johnny Kabobs chicken, beef, fish or pork on the grill, to Shirley’s Swamp Salsa, their original recipes and meals begin with Senorio de Ibros olive oil.

Here’s why it’s so special: it’s quality. The olive that’s used is piqual. It’s grown on centuries old trees. Then it’s carefully harvested and cold-pressed processed to retain the natural oils, essence and rich flavors of the oil. First cold-presssed means the oil in bottles with this label is the very first oil to come out of the first press of the olive. Cold is important because if heat is used, the olive oil’s chemistry is changed. Instead, Senorio de Ibros olive oil’s chemistry remains pure and virgin–with no changes to its oil.

The result is that it’s rated because of its high grade which is described as 100 percent extra virgin olive oil. There are several grads including:

• 100% Pure Olive Oil. It sounds good but it is often the lowest quality available in the store. A better grades would be virgin.

• If it’s “Made from refined olive oil”  the taste and acidity were chemically-produced–like olive-flavoring is added.

• Light olive oil means that it is a processed and refined olive oil, NOT a low fat content. All olive oil has 120 calories per tablespoon–you can’t change this! Light means there is less natural olive oil in it.

• Hand-picked olives mean that the olive oil is better quality. Big producers harvest olives by mechanical methods where they leave olives to over-ripen so that they will fall easily from the tree when shaken by machines that allow for mass harvesting. Over ripened olives can lessen quality as olives should be hand picked to decrease the chance of bruising or of being selected before or after its prime time.

Senorio de Ibros 100 percent extra virgin olive oil is special because of the piqual olives its made of, the centuries old trees and because of its special cold-pressed processing.

At the end of the bottling process Senorio de Ibros gets a label with an oil grade included. World members of the International Olive Oil Council requires member governments to follow laws making olive oil labels conform to the IOOC standards. Here are the labels:

• Extra-virgin olive oil (sometimes called EVOO). This is the Senorio de Ibros grade.
  • Comes from the first pressing of the olives
  • Contains no more than 0.8% acidity
  • Is judged to have a superior taste
  • There can be no refined oil in extra-virgin olive oil

• Virgin olive oil
  • Has an acidity less than 2%
  • Judged to have a good taste
  • There can be no refined oil in virgin olive oil

• Pure olive oil
  • Oils labeled as Pure olive oil or Olive oil are usually a blend of refined olive oil
  • Pure olive oil is one of the above two categories of virgin olive oil

• Olive oil
  • Is a blend of virgin oil and refined oil
  • Contains no more than 1.5% acidity
  • It commonly lacks a strong flavor

• Olive-pomace oil
  • This is a blend of refined pomace olive oil and possibly some virgin oil
  • It is fit for consumption, but it may not be called olive oil
  • Olive-pomace oil is rarely found in a grocery store
  • It’s often used for certain kinds of cooking in restaurants

• Lampante oil olive oil
  • Is not used for consumption
  • Llampante comes from olive oil’s ancient use as fuel in oil-burning lamps
  • Lampante oil is mostly used in the industrial market
