EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL: ESSENTIAL IN THE MEDITERRANEAN DIET

Our precious liquid gold is rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K. It helps in the absorption of calcium and its polyphenols play a basic role in intestinal health.

Extra virgin olive oil is a fundamental pillar of the Mediterranean diet, recognized for its multiple health benefits. This oil, obtained from the first pressing of olives, is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, especially oleic acid, which helps reduce LDL cholesterol and increases HDL, thus promoting cardiovascular health. In addition, its high content of antioxidants, such as polyphenols, fights oxidative stress and inflammation, contributing to the prevention of chronic diseases.

In the Mediterranean diet, olive oil is used not only as a dressing, but also in the preparation of numerous dishes, from salads to stews. Its distinctive flavor enhances food and encourages conscious and pleasurable eating. Incorporating extra virgin olive oil into the diet not only improves the taste of meals, but also offers a healthy and sustainable approach to eating.

CAREFUL PRODUCTION PROCESS

We make our oil from olives of the Arbequina and Picual varieties.

We harvest them by hand and grind them the same day. They are cold-pressed to achieve the desired low level of acidity.

The production of our extra virgin olive oil follows a careful process that highlights the quality of the product. Here's a summary of the main stages:

Harvesting: The olives are harvested by hand or with machines, generally between October and December, seeking to ensure that they are at their optimum point of ripeness.

Cleaning: Once harvested, the olives are cleaned to remove leaves, branches, and other impurities.

Milling: The cleaned olives are crushed in a mill, turning them into a paste. This process releases the oil contained in the cells.

Whipping: The paste is gently whisked to facilitate the extraction of the oil, allowing the small drops of oil to come together.

Extraction: The oil is separated from the paste by mechanical methods. Traditionally, presses were used, but today centrifuges are used, which are more efficient.

Decanting and filtering: After extraction, the oil is left to stand so that impurities settle to the bottom. Then, it is filtered to obtain a clean oil.

Storage: The oil is stored in optimal conditions, in dark and cool tanks, to preserve its quality and prevent oxidation.

Packaging: Finally, it is packaged in bottles or cans, making sure that it is well protected from light and air.

This artisanal and careful process is what guarantees the high quality and distinctive flavor of our extra virgin olive oil.
