Cold working
Cold processing, carried out just 3 hours after harvesting, is the key to preserving the organoleptic qualities of this extra virgin olive oil intact: a process that requires time and care, but which guarantees a strong, spicy flavor, enclosing all the quality of an Italian 100% oil.
The Porto di Mola Oil Mill
Frantoio Porto di Mola is located in the Terra di Lavoro area of Campania, in the province of Caserta, with a long tradition of olive growing. The olives are processed quickly after harvest, a factor that directly impacts the quality of the oil, reducing the risk of unwanted fermentations that could compromise its flavor.
Harvesting and pressing
The olives are harvested at a calibrated level of ripeness to balance yield and organoleptic quality, then cold-pressed to best preserve the aromas and nutritional properties of the oil, avoiding the use of high temperatures that could alter its original aromatic profile.
How to store oil
To preserve the characteristics of extra virgin olive oil, it is advisable to store it in a cool, dark place, away from heat sources and direct light, which could accelerate oxidation and compromise its flavor over time.
An oil for every use
Excellent raw on vegetables, bruschetta, and fish dishes, this extra virgin olive oil is also suitable for cooking, where it expresses a distinctive character compared to more neutral oils available on the market, maintaining its organoleptic characteristics intact even at moderate temperatures.
The territory of Terra di Lavoro
Terra di Lavoro, a historic area of northern Campania, has been known for centuries for the fertility of its soil, particularly suited to olive growing and other typical crops of the region. This area combines agricultural tradition and attention to quality, elements that are reflected in the final bottled product.
Italian 100% oil
The exclusively Italian provenance of the olives used represents a guarantee of traceability that is often absent in many extra virgin olive oils sold at lower prices, which instead use blends of olives from multiple countries, with generally inferior quality and traceability.
