That’s correct! Italy is indeed known for its rich diversity of olive trees, with over 538 cultivars. These cultivars, a term derived from Latin meaning ‘cultivated variety’, each produce their own unique variety of olives. Most of these olives are used for oil production, but some are also suitable for direct consumption and are known as table olives. These table olives are often enjoyed for their distinct flavor and texture. The process of extracting oil from the olives is known as percolation. It’s a special process that ensures the rich, flavorful oil is efficiently extracted from the olive paste produced by crushing the olives. It’s fascinating how each cultivar can produce such distinct flavors and characteristics in their olives and resulting oil. This diversity is part of what makes Italian olive oil so prized around the world! 😊 https://lnkd.in/dP5xFNuA  

💡Tequila made from Agave...Did you know?🤔 Agave plants take a minimum of six years to reach maturity and frequently take much longer. At maturity, they produce a single flower and then subsequently die. Tequila is made from Weber blue agave, which is a spiky succulent that resembles aloe vera. This plant contains a core bulb known as the piña. Tequila producers will remove the piña before baking it and extracting the juice, which is then fermented in barrels containing yeast. It is a versatile and sustainable resource that highlights the plant's many uses. Still wondering how the first person discovered how to do this 🤔💭 #science #biology #technology #mindfulness #agriculture #business #production #warehouses #construction #sustainability

In the foothills of the Andes, the Gualtallary Valley is one of South America’s best terroirs for organic winegrowing. 🏔🍇 Here are three things to know about this small but mighty Argentine region… 🏔 Elevations of over 4,000ft above sea level and close proximity to the Andes Mountains bring a constant supply of fresh air and cooler climate conditions for winegrowing, helping us to grow naturally healthy and balanced grapes with refreshing acidity. 🍇 Sandy soils provide excellent drainage, as well as low concentrations of organic matter, which together provide just the right amount of stress for the grapevines. Their daily struggle produces lower yields of more expressive grapes for elegant wines. 💧 An arid, desert-like region, Gualtallary receives just under 8 inches of rainfall per year. Dry conditions are ideal for organic winegrowing, as they naturally reduce the threat from pests, weeds or disease, and we have never had to use harmful chemicals on our vineyards.

Did you know that the AROMA is the first thing you determine the quality of extra virgin olive oil by? If it doesn’t have a pleasant, fresh smell you instantly know it’s NOT #ExtraVirgin. If it’s somehow off…musty, woody, winey… it’s an indication of critical defects, a result of improper harvesting, production or handling. ZERO #organoleptic defects are allowed in #EVOO and it’s assessed by a professional panel of tasters. If #OliveOil has NO AROMA be assured it’s not extra virgin, no exceptions here. That’s why I called my shop Aroma di Olio 🌿
