EXTRA-VIRGIN OLIVE OIL – USES AND CONSUMPTION:

The extra virgin olive oil is an identifying element and the fulcrum of the famous Mediterranean diet. Rich in polyphenols and unsaturated fats, it reduces the risk of diseases related to cardiovascular problems such as heart attacks, thrombosis, strokes and neoplasms, fights diabetes and is considered an excellent analgesic and antioxidant.

It is one of the most used ingredients in the Mediterranean diet. The main characteristics that determine the quality of the oil are:

• bitterness: typical of oils obtained from a blend of olives at different levels of ripeness
• spicy: the typical tingling of extra virgin olive oil is felt especially in the throat, triggered by the presence of polyphenols from not yet very ripe olives
• the fruity: characterized by fresh olives just picked and absolutely ground according to mechanical processes.

In the Sicilian tradition extra-virgin olive oil is the main ally for every recipe, but to best enjoy an excellent extra virgin olive oil we always recommend sprinkling it abundantly on slices of warm bread and seasoning it with salt and pepper. Simple but really tasty bruschetta will come out.
