Welcome to Lobotina - The Olive Oil Experts
What are the differences ?
Extra virgin olive oil is made from the first cold pressing of the olives, and has the most intense flavor and aroma. It has the highest level of antioxidants and is the healthiest option. Pure olive oil is a blend of cold-pressed and processed oils and has a lighter flavor than extra virgin. Regular olive oil is a blend of cold-pressed and processed oils, but has a lower quality and less intense flavor than pure or extra virgin. Light olive oil is a highly processed blend of oils and is not recommended for cooking or consuming due to its lack of health benefits.
Organic Olives ?
Organic olives are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. This means that the olives are free of harmful chemicals that could potentially harm the environment and human health. In addition, organic farming practices focus on soil health and biodiversity, which can result in a higher quality product. Other kinds of olives may be grown using conventional farming methods, which could involve the use of synthetic chemicals. They may also be treated with additional processes, such as heat or chemical extraction, to produce the final oil.
Lobotina uses the Koroneiki olive to make its high-quality extra virgin olive oil. The Koroneiki olive is a small, thick-skinned olive with a high oil content that is predominantly grown in Greece. It is highly regarded for its rich, fruity flavor and is often used to produce extra-virgin olive oil. Lobotina's use of the Koroneiki olive in its olive oil production ensures that customers can enjoy a unique, authentic taste that is true to the region.
