3L Bag-in-Box of ORGANIC Olive Oil | 3L Bag-in-Box ORGANIC Olive Oil

Our extra virgin olive oil is an edible oil extracted from olives. It is a product rooted in the Mediterranean agri-food tradition.

Characteristics of Organic Olive Oil: Coratina single-varietal. Yellow-green in colour, it has a medium to intense fruity aroma and offers a balance of bitterness and pungency, due to its high polyphenol content. On the palate, it reveals hints of artichoke with an aftertaste of almond and wild herbs.

• The “Coratina” variety, characteristic of the north of Bari, is distinguished from the others by the strong presence of polyphenols, which give the oil the right balance between bitter and spicy.
• The “virgin” type is obtained from the mechanical pressing of the olives, as indicated in our section .
• An identity card has been introduced in Italy Carta di identità dell’olio extravergine di oliva.

European legislation (EEC Regulation no. 2568/91 and subsequent updates) has set the minimum quality standards that olive oil must present in order to be marketed under the heading “Extra Virgin Olive 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, i.e. the concentration of free fatty acids, is one of the fundamental parameters for assessing the quality of the oil.

Our state-of-the-art 5.0 oil mill is equipped with ALFA LAVAL technology, which preserves the unique character of our oil and, above all, guarantees the traceability of our MADE IN ITALY product.

Manager Director Riccardo Vallarella: “We are currently the only mill in Italy that uses dedicated software to develop product traceability at any time, which is essential for Made in Italy and consumer protection”.
