Box of Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Made in Puglia – Monocultivar Coratina – 2 cans of 5Lt

Our extra virgin olive oil is an edible oil extracted from olives, namely the fruits of the olive tree of the “Coratina” variety.

The “Coratina” variety, characteristic of the north of Bari, is distinguished from the others by the strong presence of polyphenols that give the oil the right balance between bitter and spicy.

The “virgin” type is obtained from the mechanical pressing of the olives.

Original product of the Mediterranean agri-food tradition, olive oil is also produced in other regions with an average Mediterranean climate.

European legislation (EEC Regulation No. 2568/91 and subsequent updates) has set the minimum quality standards that olive oil must have in order to be marketed with the term “Extra Virgin Oil”

Rule number one is that it must be obtained by extraction with mechanical methods only. The acidity of an extra virgin oil must never exceed 0.8%, in our case the acidity does not exceed 0.3%: synonymous with excellent quality.

In fact, acidity, that is the concentration of free fatty acids, is one of the fundamental parameters for assessing the quality of the oil.

An identity card for extra virgin olive oil was created in Italy, preserving on it the uniqueness and above all traceability of the MADE IN ITALY product.
