Organic olive oil - production, Tenuta San Vito

The manual harvest of the olives takes place at the optimal time of maturation. Immediately thereafter, the olives are further processed in the own oil mill. The first process of oil extraction is washing and removing the leaves. Then they go through a screw conveyor into a grinding bowl, where they are ground to a pulp with a grinding stone. It is important that the temperature during the 30-minute process does not exceed 27 ° C.

The olives are then added to a centrifuge, which separates the components oil, water and pomace. The water and the pomace are disposed of. The remaining olive oil then still contains some water, which is completely removed in a separator with a centrifuge from the olive oil.

The olives for this extra virgin olive oil grow in olive groves that have not been treated with chemicals for more than 30 years. Of course, they are harvested manually and immediately cold pressed on the same day in the own oil mill.

The Domaine les Patys Organic Olive Oil is an absolutely natural product. It has a pale yellow-greenish color, fine fruity aromas and a mild fruity-nutty flavor with delicate bitter notes.

Recommendation: a few drops of it, sprinkled on delicate, fresh salads or ready meals, produce an irresistible mediterranean pleasure.

The usage date:

The use-by date stated on the bottles generally counts from the date of bottling on olive oils and can be either 12 or 18 months.

This means that olive oils are bottled by producers, oil mills, bottlers or traders, possibly already stored in the tank for several years and already at the time of bottling are oxidized, tasted rancid and are actually no longer edible, but cheap. Nevertheless, it is labeled with a consumption period of 12 to 18 months.

In my view, that is one reason why so many consumers are disappointed with the taste of many olive oils.

Since our oils and wines are stored in a cool and dark cellar at 8 to 15 ° C and not in warm storage and sales rooms with bright lighting, our olive oils age much more slowly, so the olive oil itself 18 months after the specified consumption period due to the original high peroxide number allows a longer shelf life.
