How to store olive oil?

Olive oil should be stored in a cool, dark place, such as a refrigerator. This can help preserve its freshness and aroma. Avoid storing olive oil in a place where it is exposed to sunlight or another heat source, as this can cause a loss of flavor and aroma. Olive oil should be stored in a tightly sealed container to prevent it from drying out. It is also important to remember that olive oil tends to change color and smell over time, so it should be consumed within a few months of opening.

What does "cold-pressed" olive oil mean?

Cold-pressed olive oil is oil that has been produced without the use of heat or chemicals. This process involves pressing raw olives using a high-quality machine, such as a slow-speed press, where the temperature is maintained below 27 degrees Celsius. This allows the oil to retain more nutrients and aroma than hot-pressed oil or oil produced using chemicals. Cold-pressed olive oil is considered superior in quality to hot-pressed oil or oil produced using chemicals.

What does it mean when olive oil is cloudy?

If olive oil is cloudy, it means that it has a non-uniform structure and is not completely transparent. This can be caused by the presence of small particles of pulp or olive pits that were not completely eliminated during the pressing process. Cloudy olive oil is not a defect, but it may indicate that it was produced by hand or by traditional methods, rather than using a modern machine. Cloudy olive oil can also have a more intense flavor and aroma than clear olive oil.

What does it mean for olive oil to be extra virgin?

Extra virgin olive oil is olive oil that meets a number of quality and origin requirements. For olive oil to be labeled extra virgin, it must be cold-pressed, i.e., without the use of heat or chemicals, and must meet specific requirements regarding its acidity level and taste. Extra virgin olive oil should have an acidity below 0.8% and meet specific requirements for taste and aroma, such as freshness, intensity, and lack of defects. Extra virgin olive oil is considered the best quality olive oil because it retains more nutrients and aroma than other types of olive oils.

What does the acidity of olive oil mean?

The acidity of olive oil refers to the content of fatty acids in the oil. The lower the acidity of the oil, the more it is valued, as this means it contains more good unsaturated fats and fewer saturated fatty acids. It is generally accepted that olive oil with an acidity below 0.8% is of good quality. The acidity of olive oil can be checked on the product label or through laboratory testing.

Why is olive oil pressed and bottled within 24 hours of harvest?

Olive oil loses its properties and taste over time, which is why it is important to press and bottle it as soon as possible after harvest. This way, its best taste qualities can be preserved and the loss of valuable nutrients can be prevented. Thanks to quick pressing and bottling, olive oil retains its original, fresh taste and aroma, which are so valued by consumers.

Olive oil and health:

1. Many diseases are caused by uncontrolled consumption of foods that also contain saturated fatty acids (animal fats), which cause atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases.

Medical studies have shown that in Mediterranean countries, particularly Greece, where olive oil consumption is high, there are fewer cardiovascular events than in any other country in the world.

By reducing the intake of animal fats and increasing the intake of olive oil in our diet, we can achieve an ideal combination for the prevention of fatal diseases such as atherosclerosis and heart attacks.

2. Recent medical studies have shown that olive oil is ideal for the needs of the human body, creating natural binding fluids, thereby relieving pain and discomfort in the bile (heartburn).

3. Millions of people worldwide suffer from stomach problems and related diseases.
The reason for this is very serious ulcers.
As is known, the use of olive oil in the diet is a beneficial factor in the functioning of the digestive system, as the oil keeps HCl low in our stomach.
Thus, the oil helps in the proper functioning of the digestive tract.

It is also proven that consuming olive oil in the diet helps:
• In good balance of human metabolism, proper development of the body and bones.
• Adequate vitamin D for the body.

Olive oil helps us to be healthy and makes our lives more enjoyable.
Written by Dimitrios Th. KREMASTINOS, Professor of Cardiology at the University of Athens, President of the Greek College of Cardiology:
A series of experimental studies have shown that the oil component contained in olives lowers cholesterol levels by 30-40%, and a number of intracellular mechanisms increase heart resistance to cellular ischemia.
