OLIO ELISIR extra-virgin
olive oil - Mediterranean essence-
Very low acidity (below 0.5 degrees)
OLIO
ELISIR is antique, is tradition
and hope. Hope that what has already been will
continue to be. (So that olive trees thousands
of years old are not illegally uprooted from our
land for sale as trophies of the nouveau riche)….not
sorrowful witnesses of human events…..but
the exaltation of the strength and beauty of this
plant as a monument to the Mediterranean landscape..
OLIO ELISIR brings
to mind the flavours colours and fragrances of
our ancestors, who with great skill chose the
right place, the right exposure to plant centuries-old
olive trees.
The oil of ancient people, honest and industrious,
the oil of old stories, of old songs. Oil where
the production of large quantities counts less
than offering a traveller a flavour, a flavour
that is knowledge. Oil we know how to make and
store, because the ancient Greeks taught us. That
is why it maintains its Mediterranean
essence intact.
OLIO ELISIR extra
virgin olive oil, the result of organic agricultural
methods, is a top-quality product. The hand-picked
olives are rigorously cold-pressed within 48 hours
(crushing). For thousands of years, this method
has safeguarded all the organoleptic properties
of the oil.
The oil is left to settle naturally.
It has a deep yellow colour, a sweet flavour with
a fruity aftertaste and all the fragrance of fresh
olives. Once pressed the olives leave the residue
which represents 40% of the original weight. This
residue (or cake) is still used today to light
fires ( it does in fact contain pulpy residues
and stone fragments that burn easily).
WHY CHOOSE OLIO ELISIR?
Because we don't invent anything…. We remember!
GOOD HEALTH:
Besides protecting the arteries, olive oil is
very important in preventing cancer. Among the
populations who only use olive oil, there are
less heart attacks and cardiovascular deseases.
Olive oil should be consumed fresh and in traditional
dressings and above all for frying food because
its smoke point is 140°-180° and it can
reach 280° without burning thanks to its low
acidity.
No other fat can resist the high temperatures
required by frying
