How PEF Improves Olive Oil Quality
This article explains how PEF improves olive oil quality at a scientific and sensory level, focusing on polyphenols, aroma compounds, and flavor balance.
We’re happy to deliver an OptiCEPT® unit for olive oil extraction to Moulin Oltremonti – a top quality olive oil producer based in Linguizzetta, Corsica, France.
Moulin Oltremonti produce un aceite de oliva virgen extra bajo la etiqueta "AOP Oil of Corsica" (Denominacíon de Origen Protegida). El certificado es un garantía de que el aceite de oliva producido es de gran calidad y sólo procede de Córcega.
La isla conocida como Ile de la Beauté has large areas of olive trees. Some are more than 2000 years old.
It is produced in the traditional way of the ”Extra Virgin” (HOVE) from olives harvested in early autumn to extract all its finesse and fruitiness.
La hermosa Moulin Oltremonti se extiende sobre 35 hectáreas divididas en dos parcelas entre el mar y las montañas en la costa este de Córcega.
Cuando OptiCEPT® was presented to the owners, Emilie and Ivo Berta, the decision to acquire the new technology was almost immediate as the beneficios y ventajas offered fitted exactly the quality characteristics of their excellent product and their concept of pure production.
Their oils all come from the same variety of Corsican olive, called the “Ghjermana”. But are picked at different times of the harvest season, giving extracted oil a taste panel from the sweetest to the most peppery: SWEET, FRESH, and INTENSIVE.
“We are proud of our new collaboration with Moulin Oltremonti and that we can contribute to their development towards an even more efficient production of high-quality extra virgin olive oil”
We want to make it easy for you to understand what positive impact the OptiCEPT® application could have on your EVOO production. Try our OptiCEPT® calculator now and get a result in no time.
