“COMPARE BEFORE USE“
From Arbekia we want to help you to compare a good extra virgin olive oil with other kind of oils, so that you can see the difference.
In order to be able to compare, we must look at the following features:
COLOUR: We usually have the idea that the usual color of the olive oil is light and bright yellow, but the extra virgin must really be dark, in green tones (which is the olive color)
LEES: Some olive oils are submitted to several processes of filtration so that the oil turns more clean and nice, but they are really taking out its flavour and properties.
The best olive oils are decanted in a natural way, leaving the natural lees of the olives, which strengthen the oil flavour and keep its properties.
ELABORATION: The cold extraction process is, with no doubt, the best extraction method since it keeps and strengthens the olive properties. Never the less, if the oil has been elaborated at high temperature, they can loose their texture, properties and natural benefits.
SMELL: Comparing the aromas is a key factor for success. The smell of your oil will tell you how concentrated and natural it is. Arbekia will give you a fruity and sweet aroma.
We know how a good olive oil is, and this is why we want to offer to you Arbekia. We don´t have any doubt that, when you taste it. You will feel the difference.
