Olive Oils - Zahara, Bertini, Lamia Highlights

  • Olive Oil Grades: Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) is the highest grade, produced by mechanical means without heat or chemicals. Virgin olive oil is also high quality but may have slight defects. Other grades like 'olive oil' or 'light olive oil' are refined and may be blended with virgin oils.
  • Harvest Seasonality: Olives are typically harvested in the fall and winter months, depending on the region and olive variety. The timing of the harvest significantly impacts the oil's flavor profile and quality.
  • Flavor Profiles: Olive oils vary widely in flavor, from delicate and fruity to robust and peppery. Factors like olive varietal, ripeness at harvest, and processing methods contribute to these differences.
  • Storage Recommendations: To maintain freshness, store olive oil in a cool, dark place away from heat and light. Use dark glass bottles or tins, as clear bottles can expose the oil to light, degrading its quality.
  • Health Benefits: Extra virgin olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, which are associated with various health benefits, including heart health and anti-inflammatory properties.
