Sicilian Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 750 ml

Description

We have a fantastic new addition to our range! A high-quality organic Extra Virgin olive oil from the heart of Sicily, from a small farm where olive trees have been cultivated for generations. The oil boasts a fresh meadow grass aroma and a very slight bitterness, indicating the presence of valuable polyphenols.

Polyphenol concentration: 520 mg/1 kg oil (all olive oils with a polyphenol concentration above 250 mg/1 kg are referred to as “high polyphenol concentration” olive oils). Polyphenols are biologically active plant substances that are also very important for our health and protection against oxidative stress and chronic inflammation.

Harvest time: November 2025. Best before: 18 months from harvest.

Free fatty acid (Acidity) concentration – 0.14% (an extremely high-quality olive oil, pressed from healthy, undamaged olives).

You can safely use this olive oil for cooking, but keep in mind that the polyphenol concentration decreases during heat treatment. Consequently, the bitter taste note also diminishes. Olive oil is safe for reasonable heating, but it’s best to use it fresh – on toasted bread, with salads, on oven-baked vegetables, as an addition to cream soups, or when making pesto or hummus.
