Wild saffron olive oil collection
April 2012
We are very happy to launch a NEW limited edition olive oil collection pressed and infused with hand picked wild saffron from the Taygetus mountains surrounding Sparta.
In 3 lovely variations: extra virgin olive oil with wild saffron, with wild saffron and rosemary and with wild saffron and sage.
This saffron olive oil collection is fantastic for salads, drizzling and dipping. Drizzled on buffalo mozzarella, carpaccio, artichokes, steamed vegetables. Boosts risotto, pasta, cous-cous with a saffron zing!
Come and taste them at Borough Market.
Cold does not define any precise temperature. European regulation requires that the extraction temperature be below 27°C in order for the oil to be named “extra virgin”. Unscrupulous producers will use high extraction temperatures and large volumes of added water to maximise yield. Excessive heat vaporises all the antioxidants and polyphenols that give taste and character to the olive oil, rendering it with no health benefits.
Lower extraction temperatures result in higher quality oil with higher nutrient levels, but this is at the expense of yield. Due to our extremely low extraction temperatures, our oils are only available in limited quantities.
