Olive Oil
Monteida Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil Cold Pressed
Description
We practice only organic farming in our olive groves located between Troas-Alexandra ile Neandri ancient cities; as a result no traces of chemical residue can be detected in our olive oil. We cold press our one-type olives which we hand pick from our groves in the early harvest season on the same day of collection in order to preserve its naturalness, taste and intactness. That is how we ultimately obtain our Monte Ida Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil… What You Need to Know About Extra-Virgin Olive Oil Extra-virgin olive oil is an unrefined oil and the highest-quality olive oil you can buy. There are very specific standards oil has to meet to receive the label “extra-virgin.” Because of the way extra-virgin olive oil is made, it retains more true olive taste, and has a lower level of oleic acid than other olive oil varieties. It also contains more of the natural vitamins and minerals found in olives. Extra-virgin olive oil is considered an unrefined oil since it’s not treated with chemicals or altered by temperature. What sets it apart is the low level of oleic acid and the absence of sensory flaws. It contains no more than 1% oleic acid and typically has a golden-green color, with a distinct flavor and a light peppery finish. While you can cook with extra-virgin olive oil, it does have a lower smoke point than many other oils, which means it burns at a lower temperature. Save the pricey good quality stuff for dipping bread, dressing, dips, cold dishes, and use the less expensive stuff for cooking and baking.
