Wholesale Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil Tin 1L

The Rivellino organic extra virgin olive oil is produced through a well-controlled process, where quality is always more important than quantity. Canino variety olives, harvested at an early stage of ripeness, are brought daily to the mill and subjected to a cold extraction system within a few hours. The extra virgin olive oil thus obtained is then carefully stored in stainless steel tanks under a nitrogen atmosphere to preserve its characteristics and bottled immediately before sale. The Canino is an ancient variety typical of the Maremma of Lazio and Tuscany. The flavor of the oil it produces is very balanced and pleasant, with its characteristic fruitiness and notes of artichoke, green almond and fresh herbs, sweet at first and pleasantly pungent at the finish, due to the presence of polyphenols that have important antioxidant, hypoglycemic and hypocholesterolemic properties. The olives are harvested early when they still contain a high percentage of chlorophyll, which gives our oil a particular emerald green color. This gradually changes to a more golden tone over time. At the time of milling the oil’s acidity is 0.1–0.3 g/l, well below the required limit. A further advantage of using Canino olives is the long shelf life of its oil.
