Did you know that Extra Virgin Olive Oil has three enemies?

 

Few people know that the main enemies of Extra Virgin Olive Oil are light, oxygen and temperature.

a) Light: Light and ultraviolet rays cause Extra Virgin Olive Oil to deteriorate faster, that’s why producers like us who are concerned with quality only package our liquid gold in dark or opaque containers. However, we have to acknowledge that glass bottles let the light in.

b) Oxygen:The presence of oxygen in any container is not good for preserving the quality of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and the bigger the container, the more oxygen is allowed to enter as the oil level drops.

c) Temperature:Extra Virgin Olive Oils must be stored away from heat sources and ideally at a stable temperature of around 16ºC. Cold temperatures are better than warm, but be aware that Extra Virgin Olive Oil freezes from 8ºC, so it shouldn’t be kept in the fridge.

For the reasons we explained earlier (light and oxygen) we don’t advise consuming good quality extra virgin olive oils in large format containers made from transparent materials. As far as storage temperature is concerned, Extra Virgin Olive Oil should be stored in places that aren’t exposed to heat.

So, to preserve the freshness of the aromas of grass, tomato, banana and almonds in premium olive oils, these three enemies should be avoided in any container.

Why is Bag In Box one of the best containers for preserving Extra Virgin Olive Oil?

Bag In Box consists of a cardboard box, which protects the oil from outside temperatures and from light. Inside is a bag containing the oil. This bag has a non-drip dispenser tap and as the oil is used, the bag shrinks, preventing air from getting inside. This means that the shelf life of Extra Virgin Olive Oil is longer in this kind of packaging compared to traditional containers.

Advantages of BIB (Bag In Box)

a) The organoleptic properties and freshness of the oil is preserved intact, as the opaque container protects it from light and the oil never comes into contact with oxygen. Plus, this freshness can be maintained even after the container is opened.

b) The container is fully eco-friendly and recyclable, with a very low carbon footprint. Its design means it takes up less space during transport and can be stacked.

c) The cardboard container reduces breakages, making it ideal for the hospitality industry.

d) It’s the perfect packaging for serving small measures.

The Oil Mill

Eliseo and Hugo decided to start Señoríos de Relleu in the Masia Teuladi farmhouse, built in 1918, is only 10 km from the sea and nestles in a valley of almond groves and Aleppo pines, where gentle Mediterranean breezes take the edge off the often harsh mountain weather.

Regarding the terroir, the chalky clay loam soil found in this area makes this the perfect spot for growing native varieties such as Manzanilla Villalonga, Blanqueta, Changlot Real, Alfafara and Genovesa alongside the highly prized Arbequina variety.
