ABC Olive Oil – Quality & Analysis
Every batch of our olive oil is independently analyzed to ensure purity, freshness, and compliance with European quality standards. These analyses allow us to measure key parameters such as acidity, peroxide value, and polyphenol content — essential indicators of quality, stability, and character.
Quality Defined by Precision
Exceptional olive oil is not claimed — it is measured.
Our olive oil is the result of a rigorous selection process, from grove to bottle, confirmed by independent laboratory analyses. Each parameter reflects a commitment to purity, stability, and excellence, ensuring an oil that meets the highest standards of extra virgin quality.
The very low free acidity (0.34%) is a direct indicator of healthy olives, careful harvesting, and immediate processing. It reflects freshness, integrity of the fruit, and precise timing at harvest — essential markers of a superior oil.
With a low peroxide value (6.27 meq O₂/kg), the oil demonstrates exceptional oxidative stability. This means the oil is fresh, well-protected from oxidation, and capable of preserving its aromas, nutritional properties, and shelf life over time.
The UV absorption values (K232, K270, ΔK) fall well within the strictest international standards, confirming the oil’s purity and the absence of refining or degradation. These results guarantee an authentic extra virgin olive oil, untouched and naturally expressed.
A Composition That Defines Character
Beyond purity, the oil’s composition reveals its true strength.
With over 68% oleic acid, the oil is rich in monounsaturated fats, known for their stability and contribution to a balanced diet. This high oleic profile also enhances the oil’s resistance to oxidation, ensuring longevity without compromising quality.
The presence of natural polyphenols (297 mg/kg) gives the oil its distinctive character — subtle bitterness, gentle pungency, and depth. These natural antioxidants play a key role in protecting the oil while contributing to its sensory complexity and health-related benefits.
Extremely low trans fatty acids and controlled wax levels further confirm careful extraction and proper filtration, preserving both clarity and authenticity.
Balance, Stability, and Expression
This oil is defined by balance rather than excess.
It offers structure without aggressiveness, intensity without heaviness, and elegance without compromise.
Every analytical result reflects a simple philosophy:
respect for the fruit, precision in timing, and restraint in intervention.
The result is an olive oil of refined stability, natural complexity, and unmistakable origin — crafted for those who value transparency, excellence, and authenticity.
