Varapodio Estate produces their Three Thirds Extra Virgin Olive Oil as a blend of the Frantoio, Barnea, and Picual olive varieties. The oil is made from olives harvested when they are predominantly green, resulting in a robust flavor profile.

A 2015 judge described the oil as having a mild fragrance with apple on the nose, slight fruity and creamy textures on the palate, and a warm finish.
