Uellì is an extra virgin olive oil from Apulia, extracted by means of mechanical cold pressing procedures that gives the palate, balance in scents and flavors.
Puglia is the home to the extra virgin oil, prince of the Mediterranean diet.
All that glitters is not gold; every extravirgin oil of olive, born from territories and different climates, from variety of different olives, methods of harvest, workmanship that change from crusher crusher. All that influences the characteristic and then the difference of price among similar extravergin oils only in appearance.
So, many people ask us how to spot the difference between a good evo oil from an otherone. We try to give you some recommendation.
The LABEL
Read the label is crucial to your choice. An important indication is given by the words “cold extraction” or “cold pressing”. In order to keep all the scents intact, the crushed olives must be pressed at a temperature of less than 27°. This means that the processing must follow an artisanal method, which makes slowness a quality and which allows to squeeze a smaller quantity of oil compared to a not cold pressing.
EXTRA VIRGIN OIL BY MILL
Mill’s oil is better than industrially processed olive oil. Our advice is to choose oil mills or farms that guarantee you a short supply chain or that the process that goes from cultivation to bottling takes place within them, without intermediaries.
THE FRAGRANCE
The perfume tells the story of the oil: when you open an extra virgin olive oil bottle “Uellì” , its bouquet inebriates you, telling you about olives picked by hand and pressed before fermentation begins.
APULIAN FROM BEGINNING TO THE END
Check that an extra virgin oil is produced from olives grown in Puglia; the traceability is essential.
THE COLOR
Colour is not necessarily a sign of quality; trust colour only when you have to evaluate ripeness and clarity. It is common for an oil mill to have a dense and visible base, a sign of craftsmanship, according to tradition.
TINGLING IN THE MOUTH
If you taste our Apulian extra virgin olive oil “Uellì” and feel a slight tingling, you are in front of a fine oil. In Coratina olives you will feel it more, in Peranzana olives it will be less decisive.
YOU CAN NEVER PAY TOO MUCH FOR EXCELLENCE
Excellence is paid for; low price, here, is synonymous with low quality. It happens that for the production of industrial oils are used olives harvested from the ground or in the process of decay, the chemical agents will make the final product free of odors and unpleasant flavors. The costs of cultivating the olive grove (ploughing, pruning, treatments), harvesting, milling, the yield that depends on the year, can not give you a price of 5 euros per liter. First of all, the quality of the extravergin oil is done, in the field, all year round, through the regular pruning and irrigation systems necessary considering the climate changes.
You will discover that there are still realities, such as our farm Agricola Vittoria with its oil “Uellì”, where the art of oil is practiced according to tradition.
