Frequently Asked Questions about Unfiltered Oil
What is unfiltered extra virgin olive oil?
We produce unfiltered oil because we want it to maintain its natural cloudiness, intense aromas, and all the nutritional properties of freshly crushed olives. It undergoes no treatments to clarify or filter the product, thus remaining authentic and vibrant.
What are the benefits of unfiltered oil?
Thanks to the natural presence of polyphenols and olive micro-particles, our unfiltered oil retains:
- a more intense and complex flavour
- fresh and persistent aromas
- greater antioxidant properties
It is ideal for those seeking an authentic, natural, and flavourful oil.
How to best store unfiltered olive oil?
We always store our oils away from light and heat.
We recommend you do the same:
- in closed and preferably dark containers (ceramic jars or glass bottles)
- away from sources of heat and direct light
The natural cloudiness does not affect the quality of the oil; it is a sign of its authenticity.
Differences between filtered and unfiltered olive oil
- Filtered oil: clear and stable, but with less aromatic intensity and fewer nutrients
- Unfiltered oil: lively, aromatic, and rich in natural properties, with natural cloudiness and a full flavor
We always choose unfiltered to offer a genuine and complete experience.
