Organic olive oil, the best extra virgin

Those who seek a Organic olive oil Italian extra virgin can rely on a truly generous excellence, thanks to the extraordinary variety of cultivars, traditions and terroirs that characterize Made in Italy productions. In this spectrum of taste, organic farming plays a leading role, an agricultural technique that exploits peasant knowledge and excludes the intrusion of chemicals throughout the process from tree to bottle.

An olive oil defined as organic is so even if every olive used to extract it is hand-picked. A lesser-known distinction is that between extra virgin and virgin oil. In both cases, extraction takes place with mechanical and physical means, never using solvents. In extra virgin, the acidity level must not exceed 0.8%, while in virgin oils, with slightly lower organoleptic qualities, a level up to 2% is allowed.

Quando ci si confronta con prodotti certificati e garantiti come eccellenti, osservare variazioni significa assistere alle tante declinazioni di cui è capace un prodotto coltivato e spremuto in Italia. Colore, odore e sapore variano anche molto a seconda dell’area di provenienza. Un ulteriore pregio di un olio extravergine di oliva proveniente dal Belpaese.
