Why choose an organic, unfiltered extra virgin olive oil

When we talk about extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), we are usually looking for excellence: aroma, flavor, and intact health benefits. However, in the gourmet world, there is a gem that takes this experience one step further: organic, unfiltered extra virgin olive oil.

If you have ever wondered what makes it so special compared to conventional oil or why its appearance sparks so much curiosity, in this article we will tell you all its secrets.

What exactly does "unfiltered" mean?

The olive oil production process traditionally ends with a filtering or decanting phase using cellulose plates to remove any trace of moisture or solid impurities.

In the case of unfiltered oil (also known as winter oil or new oil), this final step is omitted. The result? The oil retains suspended microparticles of the olive pulp and skin, as well as a minimal amount of plant water naturally found in the fruit. Far from being a defect, these particles are proof that the oil is alive, keeping all its authenticity intact from the mill to your kitchen.

What does unfiltered olive oil look, smell, and taste like?

Consuming unfiltered EVOO is an experience for all the senses that differs notably from traditional filtered oil:

• Visual appearance: Its color ranges from an intense golden green to a very vibrant leaf tone, standing out for its cloudy, veiled, and opaque appearance. As the weeks go by, it is completely normal for these microparticles to settle slightly at the bottom of the bottle or can, forming a small natural sediment.
• On the nose: It releases an intense and fresh fruitiness, with vegetal notes and nuances reminiscent of freshly cut grass and green fruit.
• On the palate: It offers a denser, velvety, and enveloping texture, with a perfect balance on the palate and subtle, elegant bitterness and spiciness.

Enhanced nutritional properties

Because it is not subjected to aggressive industrial processes or intense mechanical filtering, this oil retains a higher concentration of polyphenols, natural antioxidants, and vitamin E. These substances are true allies in protecting our cells from oxidative damage, strengthening the immune system, and supporting cardiovascular health.

How to enjoy unfiltered olive oil in the kitchen?

Due to its richness of nuances and its lively personality, unfiltered organic EVOO is designed primarily to be enjoyed raw. It is the perfect choice for:

• Good slices of toasted sourdough bread.
• Garden salads and fresh vegetables.
• Adding the final touch to creams, cold soups, carpaccios, or grilled meats and fish just before serving.
