    How it is made?

    In late autumn our Italian olives are slowly shaken from their branches using a machine, also known as the ‘scuotitura’ method, which minimises the impact on wildlife, especially nesting and sleeping birds.

    Once harvested the oil is made using a cold extraction method, which is when the olives are simply pressed mechanically without external sources of heat or chemicals applied to the process. The cold extraction method allows the oil to retain more of its flavour and nutritional value creating a much higher quality product.

    Once the oil is extracted from the raw ingredient, it needs to be further processed to remove any residual particles that might be left from the extraction process. Oils will fall into two categories at this stage: refined and unrefined. Like the pressing process, heat is one of the key elements which defines the method. Refined oils are subjected to heat pressure at this stage. Unrefined oil, such as our Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, is processed much more gently using filters rather than heat after extraction. Like cold pressing, this helps the oil retain more of its flavour and nutritional properties, which would otherwise be degraded with the application of external heat.

    Virgin vs Extra Virgin Olive Oil

    There is one key difference between extra virgin and virgin olive oil: acidity level. If the oil has an acidity level less than or equal to 0.8%, it is classified as extra virgin. If the oil has an acidity level between 0.8% and 2%, it is graded as just virgin. Any olive oil with an acidity level above this is falls into the conventional olive oil varieties.

not happy

this must be fake oil as it doesnt solidify when put in the fridge. this is the only way to test if oil is real or undiluted

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

It’s true that generally triglycerides in EV olive oils tend to solidify at low temperatures (<4°C).

This can happen more quickly or less depending on the quantity of triglycerides, the quantity of oil and the temperature.

The domestic refrigerator temperature is usually too high (>4°C) to see this phenomenon in a short time, it will need several days, maybe more than 1 week.

We never do this test since it’s not reliable, we do professional accredited laboratory tests to verify the quality and authenticity of the olive oil.

Many websites use this test as click-bait with titles such as “Do this test etc. etc.”

Delicious!

For the money, it's the best olive oil out there. Mild flavour and a beautiful peppery finish. I use it for everything.
