Olio extra vergine di Oliva | Olive Oil
Olive oil is a vegetable oil obtained from the fruit of the olive tree and one of the most sought-after and widely used vegetable fats in the world. At the same time, extra virgin olive oil is a pure natural product, whose organoleptic properties it gets from numerous substances contained in it, including polyphenols. These give the Öl the typical, discreetly piquant note - which, depending on the olive variety, harvesting method and processing, leads to a slight tickle in the throat. If an olive oil therefore does not have the characteristic tickle in the throat, one can assume that the olive oil used is of a significantly reduced quality.
In Europe, olive oil is divided into different quality classes, of which the highest and at the same time best known quality label is the extra virgin olive oil. In theory, the grade limits the production methods and sets an upper limit for acidity and sensory defects. Genuine extra virgin olive oil always comes from first cold pressing, has no sensory defects and has a maximum acidity of less than 0.8%. - Gerardo
