Cold pressing means that olives are pressed at a temperature below 27°C. This is done within hours of harvesting. It prevents heat from breaking down natural oil components. The oil thus retains its colour, fragrances and health compounds. Anyone who wants careful olive oil chooses cold-pressing. It remains authentic and healthy.
Because no heat is used, antioxidants such as vitamin E, polyphenols and carotenoids are preserved. These substances protect cells from free radicals, promote heart health and support the immune system. Hot pressing reduces these valuable substances. Therefore, cold-pressed olive oil is more effective for your health.
The flavour of cold-pressed olive oil is often intense, fruity and fresh. You can sense slight bitterness and spiciness - characteristics we value in our award-winning olive oil. Hot pressing, on the other hand, results in a smoother but less characterful oil. With cold pressing, you get more flavour sensation and experience with every application.
"Extra virgin" means the oil has an acidity below 0.8%. This requires not only cold pressing, but also high-quality olives and clean processing. Our 500ml bottle is extra virgin and cold-pressed. You can taste and feel that when you use it.
Our goal is to produce oils that are both healthy and flavourful. That is why we process the olives within hours of harvesting, without added heat. This keeps all the healthy components intact. It is labour-intensive, but the quality is second to none. And that tastes different.
Pay attention to terms like "cold pressed" or "cold pressed" on the label. Extra virgin is nicer, but without cold pressing, you lose flavour and nutrition. Choose reliable and always read the label. Our webshop lists all the details transparently. So you can be sure you are buying the best quality.
Salads, dips and finishing - always use cold-pressed oil cold or slightly heated. Heat removes the delicate flavour and healthy substances. With our 5 litre bottle you can experiment generously. Add only after the pan has been removed from the heat.
