Production

This oil is extracted mainly from organic arbequina olives, with no additives or preservatives.

In only a few hours the olives are picked, selected and washed with water. They are then pressed immediately and the oil is stored in stainless steel containers until it is bottled on the premises. This process ensures that the oil has a low acidity and fully maintains its’ aroma, flavour and nutritional properties.

The oil is pressed without any chemical treatment. Nor is it heated during the process, a procedure which increases the yield but considerably reduces the quality of the product.

This is an organic product certified as such by the CERES according to the standards of USDA-ORGANIC y JAS which guarantee that there are no traces of pesticides or any other harmful substances. Organic farming doesn't allow the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, plant growth regulators, or genetically modified organisms.

Sehr gutes OlivenölVery good olive oil

Eine Entdeckung !
Als passionierter Olivenölkonsument kann ich nur sagen: Spitze !
Besonders der niedrige Säuregehalt hat mich überrascht. Herrlich sanft und nussig. Hoffentlich machen die spanischen Produzenten nicht denselben Fehler wie ihre französischen Mitbewerber und bleiben ihrerseits vernüftig im Preis.
Ich würde mich freuen wenn IBERGOUR dieses Öl zukünftig in seine Produktliste aufnehmen würde. Man kann IBERGOUR nur gratulieren, wie (fast) immer eine gute Nase bei der Entdeckung eines Spitzenproduktes.
