The Journey From Olive to Bottle: Everything You Need to Know About First Pressing Olive Oil
The charm and complexity of extra virgin olive oil begins at the very first stage of production: the first pressing. This crucial step largely determines the quality and richness of the oil. At Olijfolie Markt, we understand the journey from olive to bottle like no other, and we are excited to share this process and its nuances.
What is Extra Virgin Olive Oil?
Extra virgin olive oil is considered the highest quality olive oil available. It is produced exclusively by mechanical methods without the use of solvents or refining. This ensures that its rich flavor, aromas and health-promoting properties are preserved.
The First Pressing: A Crucial Step
The term "first pressing" refers to the first time the olives are pressed to extract oil. Unlike other varieties, extra virgin olive oil is produced exclusively from the first pressing. This helps to preserve its purity and unsurpassed flavor.
From Olive Grove to Press
The journey from olive to bottle begins in the olive groves. Here, the best olives are hand-picked to minimize damage and ensure quality. Once the olives are collected, they are taken to the press within hours to maximize freshness and flavor.
Purity and Cleanliness of Olive Oil
Our products such as Puglia PGI and Fior d'o highlight the purity of virgin olive oil. These oils are carefully processed to ensure that every drop retains the rich, authentic flavour that true connoisseurs appreciate.
The Role of Technology in First Press
Modern technology has refined the oil extraction process, allowing for higher quality standards. At Olive Oil Market, we work with producers who use advanced technology to ensure that the first pressing is flawless and meets the strictest standards.
Sustainability and Commitment to Quality
Sustainability plays a crucial role in our production process. We work with farms that respect and promote the natural resources of the earth. This not only guarantees the best olive oil, but also contributes to the preservation of the environment.
Culinary Versatility of First Pressing
