Key Features: Unrefined cold-extracted extra virgin olive oil preserving natural flavors Rich source of Vitamin E, supporting antioxidant benefits High in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats Versatile for cooking, dressings, and finishing dishes How It's Made This premium olive oil is produced using the finest organic olives from Tunisia, harvested carefully for peak maturity. The olives undergo a cold extraction process where they are mechanically pressed without heat or chemical additives, preserving the oil's full flavor and nutritional integrity. After extraction, the oil is gently filtered rather than refined with heat, ensuring it remains unrefined. This delicate processing maintains its rich taste profile and valuable nutrients, setting it apart from refined oils which are exposed to higher heat and lose much of their character. Understanding Virgin vs Extra Virgin Olive Oil The classification of olive oil depends primarily on its acidity level. Extra virgin olive oil, like this product, has an acidity of 0.8% or less, indicating superior quality and freshness. Oils with slightly higher acidity fall into the virgin category, while those above 2% are considered conventional olive oils. Uses & Benefits Ideal for everyday use, Clearspring Organic Tunisian Extra Virgin Olive Oil is perfect for drizzling over salads, finishing pasta, or enhancing grilled vegetables. Its robust yet balanced flavor profile also makes it a great choice for sautéing and baking, providing both taste and nutritional value to your meals.
