Organic 'Centumbrie' extra virgin olive oil CENTOLEUM is a blend of oils with a delicate flavor, made from Frantoio, Moraiolo, Leccino, and Dolce Agogia olive varieties. This is a cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, perfectly suited for any dish, as it is made from more ripened olives. It does not overpower the food’s flavor but adds a pleasant subtlety. Flavor characteristics: Delicate in taste, with notes of wild herbs, thistle, and artichoke, along with a slight aftertaste of walnuts. Production characteristics: Mechanical cold pressing ensures high oil quality and preservation of all valuable nutrients. The next-generation mill allows for the production to use as little water as possible, thus contributing to environmental protection. To preserve the oil's organoleptic properties, it is bottled while carefully monitoring the temperature. Sold in dark bottles to protect it from light. The oil is pressed as soon as the olives are harvested, but no later than 24 hours. Acidity: 0.20% (max. standard 0.8%, for very good oil – max. 0.3%). Polyphenol content: 1135 mg/kg (considered to have high polyphenol content if the concentration is not less than 250 mg/kg). Peroxides: 4.6 meq/kg (max. allowable 20 meq/kg). Pressed at a temperature of 20–26 °C (to be called cold-pressed, the extraction temperature must not exceed 27 °C). Use it to enhance dishes, taste it on its own, use it in salads, fish, soups, meat tartares, light snacks. The polyphenols in olive oil are particularly beneficial for the human body. They help protect blood lipids from oxidative damage. The positive effect is achieved when consuming 20 g of olive oil per day.
