Key features of Olivottoil Extra Virgin Olive Oil:
- POLYPHENOLS - contains more than 250mg/L of phenolic compounds called Polyphenols, as prescribed by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). It authorizes Olivottoil to be labelled as having antioxidant properties. The daily intake of high phenolic olive oil contributes to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress.
- TOCOPHEROLS (Vit E) Healthy Parameter. EFSA has defined a minimum limit of 120mg / kg to allow this claim. Once you reach this limit with the recommended daily amount of oil (at least one spoon a day) you get the daily requirement of Vitamins E, which is the most powerful non-enzymatic antioxidant on the planet.
- TURN OFF INFLAMMATION - Chronic degenerative diseases and Autoimmune diseases are triggered by long-lasting chronic inflammation which generates free radicals in our body. There are two ways to cure them - avoid inflammation or turn off inflammation. Olivottoil is a super-food rich in Antioxidants which turn off inflammation.
- ZERO PESTICIDES. Multi-residual analysis is available for each batch of oil and shows that maximum residual levels of pesticides (MRL) is zero or, below the limits set by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) for organic foods (<0.03 parts per million). The Chemiservice lab analysis we use, tests for more than 300 different toxic molecules.
- EARLY HARVEST CAMPAIGN 2022/2023. Freshly made solely from olives harvested in Oct 2022. It is cold pressed and produced to exacting standards using sustainable farming methods
- CHEMICAL-PHYSICAL Olive oil parameters are Free Fatty Acids and Peroxides. To be classified as EVOO the limit for Free Fatty Acids is 0.8%, and for Peroxides is 20%. Olivottoil consistently exceeds the EVOO standards set by the International Olive Oil Committee (NYIOOC).
- SENSORY PROFILE. EVOO is tasted by a minimum of 8 Experts, managed by a Head Panel Tester or Super Expert. The three positive aspects tested are: Fruity, Bitter and Pungent. The negative aspect is mainly rancid. To be legally classified as EVOO, the oil must have Zero defects and the median of Fruity greater than Zero, Light must be less than 3, Medium between 3 and 6, and Intense over 6.
- SUSTAINABILITY. Olivottoil is an artisan Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It conforms to the sustainability criteria defined by Italy at COP212 in 2016 - the production of 1 liter of oil generates 1.5kg of CO2-Eq. The olive and the leaves used to produce 1 liter offsets 10 kg of CO2 from the atmosphere, leaving a positive balance of 8.5 kg CO2. In Packaging criteria - the tins are light weight steel: “Metal recycles forever” ; Labels are paper; Cartons are from recycled paper.
