At the heart of the Mediterranean diet, olive oil is the secret of the authentic Italian way of living and eating. Each bottle of oil produced by EuroCoop is the result of a careful selection of quality olives The best extra virgin olive oils are the result of the work of nature and the experience of man: a perfect combination of cultivation and taste. The Extra Virgin Olive Oil produced by EuroCoop is produced with olives grown in suitable lands, under the warm rays of the Mediterranean sun and harvested just before reaching full ripeness. Puglia is undoubtedly the sovereign land for the cultivation of the olive tree. It has practically always been the first region of Italy for the production of extra virgin olive oil with over 200,000 tons of extra virgin olive oil, equal to about 40% of the national total. Olive growing represents a strategic activity for Puglia: with over 40 million plants, about 370,000 hectares of occupied surface and 240,000 companies are engaged in the sector. The difference between extra virgin olive oils and simple olive oils depends on the method of harvesting and the processing times of the fruits: the high quality extra virgin oils are in fact obtained from olives squeezed within 24 hours of harvesting . From the pressing, a pure oily paste is obtained from which the precious extra virgin olive oil is extracted, which is then carefully stored to preserve its freshness and flavor. The strict regulations of the European Union require the execution of various tests, conducted by a team of professional tasters who evaluate the organoleptic characteristics of the oil, namely taste and aroma, color, clarity and density. These rigorous examinations ensure that the final bottled product is a product of the highest quality. Bringing olive oil to the kitchen is an easy way to introduce Italian vitality into your life.
