Due to its nutritional value and adaptability in the kitchen, olive oil has long been considered a valuable commodity. But how do you know which olive oil is the best?
The olive oil should be extra virgin, meaning it is obtained solely by mechanical means, without chemical solvents.
It must have a degree of acidity of less than 0.8%, which shows that great care has been taken in the quality of the olives and their processing.
The best olive oil should have a fresh, fruity smell with herbal notes and a slight sting in the throat. Its flavor must be balanced, with a mild bitterness and a touch of sweetness that leaves a pleasant sensation on the palate.
The texture of the oil is also important. The best olive oil should have a smooth, fluid consistency, neither too thick nor too light, showing that it has been carefully extracted and filtered.
Proper storage of olive oil is essential to preserve its quality. It should be stored in a cool, dark place, away from light and heat, thus avoiding oxidation and preserving its flavor and aroma.

Organic farming brings together cultivation practices aimed at caring for the soil, using natural resources responsibly and supporting biodiversity. In an olive grove, those aims depend on day-to-day decisions about vegetation, water and the management of the land.
