extra virgin olive oil is the ideal food from the weaning of children because
of its lipid balance, making it similar to breast milk. The high presence of
oleic acid and omega 3 and omega 6 series fatty acids, allies of cardiovascular
health, and phenolic compounds, vitamin E and carotenoids, valuable antioxidants,
make it valuable for health. What really makes an excellent extra virgin olive
oil like ours unique? It is its wide and complex range of micro-components and
antioxidant molecules, which originates through rigorous procedures and the
choice of the right degree of ripeness for the harvesting of selected olives.
This takes place in the shortest possible time to arrive at the milling even
within 6 hours, when the cold-pressed olives without physical or chemical
treatments give a more intense and aromatic oil, very pure, with excellent
organoleptic qualities and very low acidity, to enhance all the nutritional
virtues of the fruit of the olive tree.
