Sicilian Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 250 ml

Description

We have an exciting new addition to our range! – high-quality Organic Extra Virgin olive oil from the heart of Sicily, from a small farm where olive trees have been grown for generations. The oil has an aroma of fresh meadow grass and a very slight bitterness, indicating the presence of valuable polyphenols.

Polyphenol concentration: 520 mg/1 kg of oil (all olive oils with a polyphenol concentration above 250 mg/1 kg are referred to as “high polyphenol concentration” olive oils). Polyphenols are plant-based bioactive 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 the time of harvest.

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

You can safely use this olive oil for frying, but keep in mind that the polyphenol concentration decreases during heat treatment. Consequently, the bitter flavor note also diminishes. While the oil is safe for moderate heating, it’s best enjoyed fresh – on toasted bread, in salads, over oven-roasted vegetables, as a topping for cream soups, or when making pesto or hummus.
