Quality Analysis
Taste is at the heart of everything we do. Our extra virgin olive oil is crafted with care, tradition, and pride. Every bottle reflects our commitment to excellence, confirmed through rigorous sensory assessment and laboratory testing that verify freshness, authenticity, and superior quality.
Professional Sensory Assessment
Our oil is evaluated by certified tasting panels following EU Regulation 2568/91 and International Olive Council (IOC) standards. Trained experts assess aroma, flavor, and mouthfeel to confirm the oil's extra virgin classification. This sensory analysis ensures our oil is free from defects and exhibits the fresh, fruity, and balanced characteristics that define premium quality.
Chemical Quality Parameters
Independent laboratory testing confirms the purity and quality of our oil. Below are the key parameters that define extra virgin olive oil:
| Parameter | Our Value | EVOO Standard | What It Means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free Acidity | 0.13% | ≤ 0.8% | Exceptionally low acidity indicates superior quality and careful handling from harvest to bottle. |
| Peroxide Value | 6.2 mEq O₂/kg | ≤ 20 mEq O₂/kg | Low peroxide value confirms freshness and proper storage, protecting flavor and health benefits. |
| UV Absorption (K232, K270) | Within limits | K232 ≤ 2.50, K270 ≤ 0.22 | These values detect oxidation and confirm authenticity, ensuring the oil is pure and unrefined. |
Polyphenols & Antioxidants: 353 mg/kg
Our oil is rich in natural polyphenols—powerful antioxidants that contribute to health benefits and the oil's distinctive peppery finish. A polyphenol content of 353 mg/kg places our oil in the premium category, offering enhanced flavor stability and nutritional value.
Independent Third-Party Laboratory
All analyses are conducted by an accredited, independent laboratory recognized by the International Olive Council (IOC). This ensures objectivity, accuracy, and compliance with international standards.
We are proud to share these results with you, demonstrating our transparency and dedication to producing olive oil of the highest quality.
