For us
Quality is a single but decidedly multi-disciplinary concept.
It begins in the field and arrives at the table
Above all though, the quality of great extra virgin olive
oils lies in that subtle link which unites the organoleptic
quality (aroma and taste) with the quality in terms of health
and nutrition. In brief, good quality extra virgin olive oils
are good for your health, but excellent ones can truly be
considered health-promoting agents for body and spirit.
Here is why:
- Quality – How? Only through
particular care of the trees and fruits and the use of avant-garde,
non-invasive extraction methods. In this way the expert
producer can extract by natural, mechanical means all the
taste and health-promoting characteristics which are unique
to olives and are not found in other fruits.
- Quality – Where? It has
been demonstrated that all the sensorial and nutritional
goodness of a high quality extra virgin olive oil is found
in the 2% composed of over 200 naturally occurring antioxidant
chemical compounds. These are present in appreciable quantities
(over 300 mg/l) only in SUPERIOR QUALITY products.
- Quality – Why? Because
all of those compounds that represent the real 'plus' point
of quality extra virgin olive oil can store energy from
the sun in such a way as to render them biologically active.
This is to say that they can help to protect our bodies
against ageing, cancer, cardiovascular diseases (by reducing
'bad' cholesterol) and liver, stomach and intestinal problems.
- Quality – When? Always.
Especially at the table, when we do not wish to talk about
illnesses but rather to enjoy taste experiences, aware nonetheless
that the BITTERNESS and TANG mean polyphenols (antioxidants)
and therefore health. And if the tasting takes care of the
body, the aroma is therapeutic for the spirit, helping us
to fully enjoy the whole experience of healthy, tasty eating.
Ours is therefore a 'holistic' product, for the whole person
– body, mind and spirit – and in a holistic way it provides
for both health and taste requirements.
