Inside the Oil

The term “cold-extracted” in the context of extra virgin olive oil (EVO) indicates that the oil extraction process has been conducted without significant heat application, ideally within a temperature range of 16 to 24 degrees Celsius. This method is intended to fully preserve the organoleptic and nutritional qualities of the oil, ensuring a high-quality product. The extraction temperature significantly impacts the aroma profile of EVO oil:

– Below 16 degrees, aromas do not develop.

– Between 16 and 24 degrees, esters and aldehydes are formed, the latter responsible for the characteristic green and grassy aromas.

– Above 26 degrees, aldehydes decrease while alcohols increase, often contributing to a ripe apple aroma.

– Beyond 29 degrees, the aroma is lost, and alcohol levels increase.

High-quality extra virgin olive oil is distinguished by its low acidity and the presence of beneficial phenolic compounds, such as fruity, bitter, and pungent notes. These components significantly contribute to the health benefits of EVO.

Every single extra virgin oil in our range offers distinctive flavor profiles and aromas, which can be explored in detail via the sensory maps available on the page dedicated to each product.

No, extra virgin olive oil and our flavored oils are free of any allergen and suitable for celiacs and all those intolerant to certain types of vegetables and fruits.

Right of withdrawal

Our company guarantees the right of withdrawal by respecting the legal directives for purchases made online. Pursuant to article 52 of Legislative Decree. n. 21 of 21 February 2014, you have 14 days from receipt of the product to exercise this right without this entailing any penalty or the need to give any explanation. If you decide to exercise the right of withdrawal you will have to send the goods back to us at your expense and send an e-mail with notification of withdrawal indicating:

  • Name and description of the item for which you have decided to withdraw. We remind you that the information regarding the item and order code is indicated on your personal Orders page, accessible via login.
  • The order number issued at the time of purchase;
  • The personal data (name, surname, address, telephone number) of the holder of the current account to which the sum will be credited, the C/C number, the ABI and CAB codes of your bank. Or PayPal account with which the purchase was made.

We will make the bank transfer within 30 days to the account number you provided, or to the PayPal profile with which you made the purchase, communicating via e-mail.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, you are required to inform us of your decision to withdraw from the purchase through an explicit declaration (by email to [email protected]). Another necessary condition for exercising the right of withdrawal is the substantial integrity of the product and its packaging.

The refund concerns the purchase price of the goods, meaning as such the net amount paid for the goods excluding additional costs such as transport or any cash on delivery fees.

After having forwarded the notice of withdrawal, it is necessary to insert the original packaging containing the goods in special packaging, in order to protect the product and its packaging from any damage or alteration. It is advisable to use a courier or other suitable means for shipment to allow the traceability of the shipment. The goods will be returned at your own expense (you can make the return through any courier via its website or via truckpooling).

The right of withdrawal lapses in its entirety when the “essential condition of integrity of the goods” (packaging and/or its contents) is no longer present and/or in cases where it is ascertained:

  • The lack of the original external/internal packaging;
  • The absence of integral elements of the product;
  • A use of the product in such a way as to make it impossible to restore it to the conditions pre-existing upon sale;
  • Modifications and/or tampering with the product such as opening the cap. Clear from the white stripe that appears around the cap.

The refund will be made as soon as possible and in any case no later than 30 working days from the date of receipt of the notice of withdrawal.
