Why choose organic extra virgin olive oil

The two processing cycles should never be confused. In general, extra virgin olive oil is obtained exclusively by pressing the olives without chemical additives as in other types of oil and the degree of acidity is always less than 1%. Organic extra virgin olive oil, on the other hand, is produced only with olives from organic farming, that is, without pesticides, chemical residues and in compliance with the short supply chain. This alone would be enough to make consumers choose organic extra virgin olive oil.

Organic extra virgin olive oil means that it has been produced without using synthetic chemical additives, that the organic substance of the soil has been preserved and that the times and cycles of nature have been respected. For these reasons, organic extra virgin olive oil, unlike traditional extra virgin olive oil, will never have defects or abnormal flavors. If it were to have them, then we would be dealing with a counterfeit.

Organic extra virgin olive oil is subjected to very strict controls: harvesting, extraction and conservation are strictly controlled, otherwise the oil cannot be awarded the 'organic farming' guarantee mark. The legislation on the matter is so precise that all operators, from oviculturists to traders, are subjected to specific and constant checks by the State. To avoid fraud, companies are required to keep detailed documentation.
Le Fascine organic extra virgin olive oil meets all these criteria.
