Description

Imported. Premium Quality. Flora 100% Italian Organic Unfiltered Extra Virgin Olive Oil comes from the Monocultivar Coratina, which is a variety of olive that has its own cultivation center in Corato and Andria, in Puglia. This horticultural process safeguards the true olive flavor and fruitiness while ensuring the highest level of security and safety of an organic product. Yellow-green in color, Coratina extra virgin olive oil is very aromatic with a fruity and deep flavor accompanied by a bitter, spicy aftertaste. The extra virgin oil that is derived from this cultivar is pure energy and rich in polyphenols. An excellent antioxidant and eliminator of cell damaging free radical molecules, these polyphenols reduce bad cholesterol and the risk of heart disease. First Cold Pressed: This method indicates that no heat or chemical additives were used to extract the oil from the olives, which can alter and destroy the flavors and aromas of the olive oil. Without adding heat to the processing, the olive oil also retains its full nutritional value. Unfiltered olive oil. Unfiltered olive oil (Also known as cloudy olive oil, veiled olive oil, or olio nuovo) is an intermediate product of olive oil extraction. It is actually the initial cloudy juice of the olive drupes soon after crushing, separation, and decanting and before final filtration. The oil is stored in tanks for weeks or months to allow sediments to be separated from the oil. From Italy to Your Table: John Flora, a native of Puglia Italy, began importing products into the United States in 1975 to share the True Taste of Italy with everyone. Mr. Flora, having experienced and enjoyed Mediterranean food his entire life, captivated by their healthy recipes and convinced of their wholesomeness continues to introduce products from their native regions across Italy.
