Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
| DESCRIPTION: | Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the edible oil obtained by the mechanical expression of naturally occurring oils from the clean, wholesome fruit of the olive tree, (olea europaea), producing an oil having a light to moderate flavor intensity. Solvent extracted oils, or oils obtained by any means other than mechanical expressing shall not be used. | ||
| ORIGIN: | Spain, Turkey, Morocco, Italy, Tunisia and Argentina – Certificate of Origin provided by supplier with every shipment. | ||
| PURITY: | Free of residue (B refined) or re-esterified oils. Must meet all Codex Alimentarius standards. | ||
| CERTIFICATE OF ANALYSIS: | Each shipment to include certificate. | ||
| PROCEDURE – Visual & Organoleptic | |||
| APPEARANCE, FLAVOR & COLOR: | This olive oil appears as a transparent, light green to green free flowing oily liquid having a viscosity typical of vegetable oil. It shall be free of sediment and foreign material. | ||
