TECHNICAL DETAILS:
VIRGIN DOP EVO OIL
Selected olives and certified production methods.
EVOO
Evoo stands for "Extra Virgin Olive Oil." It is the highest grade of olive oil, characterized by its superior quality and taste.
What does PDO mean?
PDO refers to "Protected Designation of Origin," a label that certifies a food item is sourced from a specific location and crafted using established traditions, upholding stringent criteria for quality.
How is PDO olive oil crafted?
This oil is extracted from olives cultivated exclusively in a designated region, adhering to precise quality benchmarks mandated by the certifying body. The manufacturing process is steeped in time-honored methods and strict regulations to ensure the olive oil's superior quality and regional distinctiveness.
The taste nuances of Colli Martani PDO olive oil
The Colli Martani PDO olive oil offers a sophisticated taste: it's fruity with a hint of bitterness and a gentle spice kick. Its color is a lustrous gold-green, with an inviting scent that evokes fresh herbs, tomatoes, and artichokes.
The health advantages of high-quality extra virgin olive oil
Rich in monounsaturated fats, Evoo is beneficial for lowering undesirable cholesterol levels, thereby mitigating heart disease risk. It also possesses anti-inflammatory qualities and is abundant in antioxidants, aiding in the prevention of oxidative stress and lowering chronic disease risk.
The merits of PDO olive oil certification
The PDO seal validates that the olive oil is made using traditional methods and regulated procedures, supporting the local agronomy by endorsing and maintaining conventional agricultural methods. The PDO endorsement also enhances the product's distinctiveness, contributing economic value to the region.
Why opt for PDO olive oil?
Opting for PDO olive oil means choosing a top-tier oil that is intrinsically linked to its place of origin. The certification guarantees adherence to rigorous quality standards, positioning it as a coveted product. Selecting PDO olive oil not only supports local agriculture and conserves heritage farming techniques but also ensures a consumption experience marked by exceptional quality.
EVOO
Evoo stands for "Extra Virgin Olive Oil." It is the highest grade of olive oil, characterized by its superior quality and taste. To be classified as extra virgin, the olive oil must be produced by mechanical means without the use of chemicals or excessive heat, which ensures the oil's natural flavor, aroma, and health benefits are preserved.
Extra virgin olive oil is made from pure, cold-pressed olives, whereas other olive oils may be processed using heat or chemicals or created from a blend of cold-pressed and processed oils. EVOO is also noted for its low acidity, and high levels of polyphenols, which are natural antioxidants, and other beneficial compounds.
Because of its purity and sensory attributes—such as its taste and smell—extra virgin olive oil is typically used in cooking applications where its flavors can shine, like in salad dressings, dips, or as a finishing oil.

Understanding Olive Oil Labels: The Gateway to Quality Assurance
The Importance of an Olive Oil Label
An olive oil label is not just a mere sticker affixed to a bottle; it is the primary communicator of an olive oil's quality, origin, type, and characteristics. It's the first thing a consumer interacts with and the last thing they check before making a purchase. The label serves as a passport of authenticity and a testament to the oil's journey from the olive grove to the kitchen. For the discerning customer, it is a guide that provides vital information, empowering them to choose a product that meets their culinary needs and quality standards. In a market where choices are many and varied, the label stands as a beacon of trust and an assurance of the olive oil's pedigree.
The Structure of an Olive Oil Label
An olive oil label is meticulously structured to offer transparency and clarity.
It typically includes the grade of the oil (such as "extra virgin"), which indicates the level of acidity and flavor profile. It will also often detail the region of origin, which can greatly influence taste due to the terroir—similar to wine. The label may highlight whether the olives are organic, the method of extraction used, and any pertinent certifications or awards. The harvest date or "best by" date is also crucial, as olive oil is best consumed fresh and these dates help ensure its freshness and flavor are at their peak. Nutritional information, such as calorie content and the presence of vitamins, is also present to inform health-conscious consumers.
Post-Harvest Analysis: Ensuring Excellence
After the harvest, the commitment to quality extends far beyond the olive grove. Each batch of olive oil is subjected to rigorous analysis by the finest accredited laboratories across the country, which specialize in food analysis. These laboratories are at the forefront of ensuring safety and quality, using state-of-the-art technology to test for a spectrum of parameters that include purity, acidity levels, presence of contaminants, and adherence to regulatory standards. This level of scrutiny is what allows producers to confidently state the quality of their product on the label, and consumers to rest assured of the oil's integrity and healthfulness.
The laboratory findings play a pivotal role in shaping the information that goes on the olive oil label. They confirm the authenticity of the oil and its compliance with international quality standards, such as the International Olive Council's stringent guidelines. The data obtained from these analyses validate the claims made on the label, from the oil's classification as extra virgin, virgin, or pure, to its organoleptic properties and nutritional value.
In essence, the label of an olive oil bottle is a reflection of the dedication to quality and authenticity that producers uphold. It narrates the oil's story, its heritage, and the meticulous process behind its creation, from tree to table. For consumers, it provides peace of mind and an assurance of excellence, letting them enjoy the olive oil not only as a culinary delight but also as a product of high standards and integrity.
Continued Assurance Through Online Transparency
Enhancing Traceability with Online Access to Certifications
In an era where information is power and transparency is esteemed, we go a step further in instilling confidence in our consumers. Recognizing the significance of accessible, detailed product information, we provide a link to an online page specifically designed for our olive oil's traceability. This dedicated platform showcases the certifications for every batch of olive oil we produce, including the valuable certification of polyphenols content.
Polyphenols are natural antioxidants found in olive oil, coveted for their health benefits and their role in enhancing the oil's flavor complexity and shelf life. By including the certification of polyphenols, we not only celebrate the healthful virtues of our olive oil but also provide a quantifiable measure of its quality.
Cutting-Edge Scientific Analysis: Our commitment to authenticity and health drives us to utilize the most scientifically advanced analysis available today: the LC MS/MS MRM - Liquid Chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) is a powerful analytical technique that combines the separating power of liquid chromatography with the highly sensitive and selective mass analysis capability of triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. This sophisticated system is the gold standard for quantifying polyphenols, offering unparalleled precision and reliability. It doesn’t just measure total polyphenols but distinguishes between the various types present in olive oil, providing a comprehensive profile of these beneficial compounds.
This digital transparency initiative allows consumers to verify the authenticity and quality of their purchase by simply entering the batch number from their olive oil bottle's label. Instantly, they are presented with a comprehensive profile of their oil's journey, from the accredited laboratory analyses to the bottled product on the shelves. This level of detail encompasses everything from the chemical composition and sensory evaluation results to the exact polyphenolic content, offering an unprecedented glimpse into the product's purity and potency.
The online portal serves as an extension of our commitment to excellence and consumer trust. By bridging the gap between our meticulous crafting process and the informed consumer, we create a community of shared values and appreciation for premium olive oil. Through this initiative, we not only comply with global standards of quality assurance but also embrace the ethos of complete customer satisfaction, making every bottle's story as rich and transparent as the oil it contains.
