That’s worth knowing! .. (3° part of 3) § A product certification (D.O.P., “da
agricoltura biologica”, I.G.P.) is released by a certification Body
authorized by the Italian governement. A certificated product conforms to
an official Disciplinare, stating the rules of the whole
production process. A certification can be very expensive, because of the
cost of analysis and controls. In many cases every bottle of the product
receives a numbered label. The prize
of a bottle of a certified extravirgin olive oil is higher that a
bottle of a non certified product.. §
Most people buy very bad
products: they aren’ t able to tasting them and sometimes they like the
tastes of “rancido”, “riscaldo” etc, that are defects,
because they are accustomed to. Most people don’t like the tastes of “amaro
“ and “piccante” (bitter and hot) that are characteristics of quite all the
excellent extravirgin olive oils and that are highly appreciateded from
expert people. §
Most people look at the colour of the olive oil. The colour can ve
very different, ranging from yellow to green, depending only fron the olive
type and from the soil and the climate of the production area. The colour
isn’t an element for evaluate the quality. There are some bad vegetable oil
with a wonderful artificial green or yellow colour. written by
