Superior grade cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil obtained directly from olives and solely by mechanical means.
The ‘fruitiness’ of an extra virgin olive oil is the combination of olfactory and gustatory sensations reminiscent of fresh olives. Therefore, choosing the right fruitiness will allow you to create your own combinations, for example:
- Light fruitiness, to accompany delicate fish and white meat dishes.
- Medium fruity, to enhance salads, roasted white meats, roasted fish and dips.
- Intense fruity, for your dishes with a strong flavour, such as legume soups and roasted meats.
To preserve the aromas and properties of extra virgin olive oil, it is important to store it away from light, heat, and oxygen, in tightly closed and preferably dark bottles. Avoid storing in the refrigerator or cold places, as the gelling of the oil and its subsequent return to liquid form causes a process of sensory (taste and smell) and nutraceutical impoverishment, accelerating the premature aging of the product.
Extra virgin olive oil expresses its best aromas and nutritional characteristics when used raw, for example on salads, vegetables, soups and fish dishes. It can also be used in cooking, avoiding excessive temperatures and favouring gentle cooking methods.
Many guidelines referring to the Mediterranean diet consider a daily consumption of extra virgin olive oil in the order of a few tablespoons, integrated into one's overall calorie intake, to be adequate. For personalised advice, it is essential to consult your doctor or nutritionist.
Freshly extracted extra virgin olive oil has an opaque color, caused by the presence of impurities (parts of the pulp, water, organic residues present on the olives). Filtering extra virgin olive oil (with cellulose filters) is essential for eliminating impurities, ensuring proper preservation over time and preserving its organoleptic and nutritional properties.
