Extra Virgin Olive Oil Estepa Virgen Gourmet 500 ml

Estepa Virgen Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil is an expert selection from all the varieties of olives grown in the Estepa Protected Designation of Origin region, harvested extra early, when the olive is turning green (between green and purple), and cold-pressed, resulting in an excellent, intense green oil that stands out on the nose for its smell of freshly cut grass and green fruit (almonds, apples, bananas, etc.). On the palate, a complex sensation of evergreen nuances, with a very balanced spiciness and bitterness. It has been the subject of numerous national and international awards since its launch, its highest quality being recognised by the International Olive Committee, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and the Environment and Expoliva, among others. It has the sustainable cultivation certification of Integrated Production and the high quality certified by the Estepa PDO. Thanks to its high quality and composition rich in polyphenols and oleocanthal, it has a high content of vitamin E, which contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative damage. Recommended for raw use, with toast, tomato salads and pasta dishes.

Features

• The entire process of extracting oil from fresh, healthy olives is carried out below 27ºC, which allows its organoleptic properties to remain unchanged.
• Extra virgin olive oil from early harvest has exceptional organoleptic characteristics: a more powerful flavour and a truly spectacular fruitiness. In addition, it usually has lower acidity and peroxide levels (which measure the degree of oxidation) and a higher concentration of polyphenols and natural antioxidants, making it a healthier oil.
• The Regulatory Council of the Estepa Protected Designation of Origin establishes the highest quality requirements of all the Denominations, guaranteeing the high quality of the protected oils.
• Implementation of a system of agricultural techniques for olive cultivation and productive oil extraction, respectful of the environment and certified as Integrated Production.
• Recognized in major fairs and competitions as one of the best oils on the market (Ministry of Agriculture, Biofach, Mario Solinas, Olive Japan, etc.).
