Olive Oil |
|
The olives, hand-picked and immediately processed, give forth a totally organic extra-virgin cold-pressed olive oil of rare quality. It is the best olive oil that can be made and does not undergo any further processing or refinement. Always cold-pressed, it retains its anti-oxidants unaltered thus making an olive oil that is also very important for good health. Frequent use of this olive oil in our daily diet will help lower “bad” (LDL) cholesterol levels and increase the “good” (HDL) ones, thus contributing to the prevention of cardiovascular disease and arteriosclerosis. The quality of an extra-virgin olive oil depends on how ripe the olives are when they are picked, the picking method used, how the oil is extracted and the speed with which these operations are performed. Add that to the terrain’s qualities, the right choice of olive variety and the proper method to extract the oil, and you obtain the very finest results. Because the quality of the raw material is born in the olive grove. The olive oil is obtained from a mix of olive varieties, the fruit of generations of experience , but also from tasting and scientific experimentation. It includes the oil from Moraioil, Frantoio and Leccino olives from the Verciano groves, an ideal area in which to grow quality organic raw materials. Picked at just the right ripeness, by hand so that they olives are not bruised or traumatised, they are then immediately processed so that their freshness becomes part of the flavour and aroma, but above all, to make sure that the active principles remain unaltered. It resists oxidation and rancidity thanks to the high pressure of the pressing process it undergoes. This same process also helps to safeguard the natural vitamins that are so beneficial to our organism. Vitamin E helps young bodies grow, it prevents the oxidation of free radicals, helps red blood cells develop, combats sterility and helps alleviate post-menopausal symptoms. Vitamin F helps prevent heart attacks, heals atypical eczema from allergies, cures psoriasis, strengthens nails and fights obesity. An historical scientific revolution: the Baglioni method 100% pure extra-virgin olive oil is what results from the revolutionary organic pressing techniques, the Baglioni method. This methods calls for crushing and pressing, completely cold, the tiny olives with those intense flavours that take on such an important role in producing extraordinarily high organic olive oil. The Baglioni Method gave birth to the 100% Organic Olive Press conceived by Amilcare Baglione, the Principality’s head olive oil maker. It calls for cold pressing (below 27°C) and maintains the natural properties of the olives unaltered. |
