OLIVE OIL FLOWER.

 

In this area, the olive picking is just finished. In the last production of this season, I thought to obtain olive oil flower.

This name is used in Spain with an unfiltered olive oil, presented in the most natural state, and with reputation of being the purest.

 

 

 

It's obtained picking manually the flowed oil, after kneading the crushed olives. So, this pure olive oil is produced without centrifuging or pressing. After kneading you have to let the dough rest to get the oil go up.  Using cutting-edge 19th century technology, free oil is taked with a spoon.

 

 

 

Were processed 17 kilos of olives, obtaining 1 liter of olive oil flower, and another 2 liters after pressing.The resulting slightly turbid liquid is the purest and finest-flavoured olive oil that you can taste. Is what some olive oil lovers in Spain call “the best olive oil possible”.

This oil is recommended to consume raw, on toast bread or garnishing salads. It's advised to be consumed as soon as possible to enjoy all their properties.

 

 

FLOR DE ACEITE

En la última elaboración de aceite de esta temporada, pensé en obtener flor de aceite. Esta denominación se aplica a un aceite sin filtrar, que se presenta en su estado más natural, y con la fama de ser el más puro.

Se consigue recogiendo manualmente aquel que se desprende por si solo durante el amasado de las olivas trituradas, antes de aplicar los procesos de centrifugación o de  presión. Hay que dejar reposar la masa para que el aceite se venga arriba.

Procesé 17 kilos de aceitunas, consiguiendo 1 litro de flor de aceite, y luego prensando otros 2 litros.

Este aceite está recomendado para consumir en crudo, sobre unas tostadas o aderezando una escalibada o ensaladas. Aconsejan  que se consuma lo antes posible una vez envasado para disfrutar de todas sus propiedades.
