The
olive oil is known since antiquity. It had already been used for cooking,
lighting, clothing and soap making.
What is virgin olive oil?
The famous virgin olive oil is superior. It
contain 99% of lipids which works to make it moisturising.
The organoleptic
specifications (flavour, scent, color, aspect, consistence) depend of
geographic origin, olive tree variety but also culture method and fruit
maturity. It raises as much interest as the great wine. The tastes can be distinguished (bitterness and intensity), and also the aromas ( fruity and similarity
with other fruit).
All the vegetable oils
naturally contain antioxidants in more or less quantity. This is what protect
them against oxidation and us by the same occasion.
Virgin olive oil making :
After
being washed the olives are first “triturated”. So you hear you ask but what is
trituration? This is a process that combines, crushing, friction, rubbing and
pressure (like our molars during the chew action). The trituration is usually
made with the pips in a mill wheel (once operated by animals but motorised
today) or a hammer mill.
Those
are cold processes, which means not above 30°C, this doesn’t cause any
alteration of the oil and the process does not contain any other treatment
other than washing, settling, centrifugation or filtration.
They
are pure fruit juice!
Then comes separating oil from water and solid
residues by press or centrifugation which consuming a very small amount of
water and energy causing minimum pollution.
Finally
the settling and the filtration eliminate the last residues in suspension.
Depending
on the olive variety and the maturity we need 4 to 10 kilos of them to provide
1 litre of oil.
The
olive oil is a star over the ages
and will continue to be for very long!
