Mefitis Extra Virgin Olive Oil

The oils from Azienda Agricola Saluzzi are made with exceptionally high-quality extra virgin olive oil, a family business handed down from father to son, and this is how the Mefitis Extra Virgin Olive Oil came to be

Mefitis Extra Virgin Olive Oil

The name of this exceptionally high-quality extra virgin olive oil is a tribute to the goddess Mefitis. An Italic goddess who protects springs and fertility. This is an oil of absolute excellence because it is produced using an ancient technique, called affioramento (surfacing). This is because it involves hand-collecting the very small percentage of oil (about 4%) that rises to the surface spontaneously on the olive paste. After collection by surfacing, the oil is lightly filtered through a cotton cloth and finally bottled. The result is a full-bodied oil, in perfect harmony between aroma and flavour, made even more precious by its very limited yield, precisely due to the special production process. Traditional olive growers who carry on traditional and natural processing methods. To obtain products with a high organoleptic profile. The olives are in fact crushed with stone mills. This preserves all their organoleptic characteristics and the precious substances with undisputed health benefits, such as polyphenols, monounsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E.
