What does "ORGANIC" really mean when it comes to olive oil?

ORGANIC olive oil represents a conscious choice for those who are looking not only for a high quality condiment but also for a product that respects the environment and promotes health. But what does "ORGANIC" really mean when it comes to olive oil?

1. Certified Organic Origin:

The production of ORGANIC olive oil begins with olives grown in certified organic land. This implies the absence of synthetic pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers. The olives are grown following natural methods that respect the balance of ecosystems.

2. Natural Extraction Process:

In the oil extraction process, chemical solvents and other synthetic additives are avoided. ORGANIC olive oil is obtained through cold pressing or centrifugation methods, thus preserving the aromas and nutrients of the olives as much as possible.

3. Rigorous Controls:

ORGANIC olive oils are subjected to stricter controls to ensure they meet organic standards. These controls concern every stage of production, from olive cultivation to bottling.

4. Health Benefits:

Since ORGANIC olive oil is free of chemical residues, it offers a purer nutritional profile rich in antioxidants. The absence of harmful substances helps to preserve the health benefits associated with the consumption of olive oil, such as reduced risk of heart disease and anti-inflammatory action.

5. Commitment to Sustainability:

The production of ORGANIC olive oil underlines the commitment to environmental sustainability. By reducing the use of harmful chemicals, biodiversity is preserved and agriculture that respects the natural cycle of plants is supported.

Choosing an ORGANIC olive oil is not just a culinary choice, but an act that reflects a commitment to personal health and the health of the planet. Explore our selection of ORGANIC olive oils on our website and immerse yourself in a unique taste and sustainability experience.
