In the past, no cars, oil, electricity, Internet; past, no petrochemical refining technology, no pesticides, no food additives; past, people rely on "day" to eat, all in accordance with the "production season" and "local ingredients"; Once upon Everything is so natural, "organic without adding"; according to geographical and get different weather ingredients. Once upon a time, people will be filled with love and respect, cherish food, retain their original taste; just studying how to make more delicious, on the table to share with family dishes of food. The Mediterranean virgin extra virgin olive oil, is in such an environment, the formation of a special "Mediterranean olive culture."
Olive oil as wine in general, is a vast knowledge; olive farmers can pay attention to local olive varieties (like grape varieties, Italian olives have more than 1500 kinds of different varieties), how to plant (upwind upwind, welcome light backlighting, mountains and steep slopes degree ), how to harvest (by hand harvesting, crops grown in china bamboo rakes, tree earthquake machine, lapping height, etc.), how to squeeze the system, whether cold virgin, Jidao oil-water separation process, how to save, how to bottling, virgin after How to use olive residues (continued pressure oil extraction or used as farm fuel), and many other details, can be used to distinguish between olive oil quality, grade and on human health or not. For me, the November visit one of the objectives of each olive farm, and that is ownership of the oil process and scrutinize crops grown in china the details, each bottle of olive oil to obtain certification number, has really control the quality crops grown in china of olive oil. This job may sound easy, but not at the actual implementation simple. Long-term and Italian olive farm in contact throughout the East and West to learn a few tricks up my own induction, used to judge the quality of olive oil. One trick is to "see olive color."
Each year in November, when I first arrived in every olive oil mill (Italian for Frantoio), the first thing is to observe the plant has not been processed, will soon be used to extract oil in the olive itself. How simple "see olive color" to distinguish the quality of olive oil, to understand each one producing olive oil is good or bad, we must first understand the "olive" no points "green olives" and "black olives", showing green or black olives only able to distinguish between "olive maturity", can not be used as an olive species classification. Here are three figures, the figure of olive colors are different: Green is representative of relatively young and dynamic olives, black olives and vice versa is mature. An olive oil mill observe every (Italian for Frantoio) inside, ready to enter a whole olive oil extraction plant color, you can probably crops grown in china infer "harvest mode."
According crops grown in china to Italian olive expert Nicola Bovoli, olive harvest conditions can be divided into three types: 1. Lot of harvesting machines (regardless of the degree of ripening, the machine will be whole once off pieces of olive olives), two full hand mining. close but unfamiliar to the degree (that is, although it is artificial harvest, but to see it pick olives, regardless of grade), 3. entire harvested by hand and cooked divided into degrees (this harvesting method is the most time consuming, but it is the most advanced approach, so harvesting olives cooked down into degrees have been chosen, the same color). In the first and second practice, you will see flocks of olive colors are black with green, the color varies; while in the third practice, you can see a bunch of olives have the same ripening of the same color. Often using the third approach, experienced olive farm, harvesting the olives are often presented "third black, and the remaining two-thirds of the Green," the young black olives. To be able to removal of a large number of "young black olives," is very difficult, the reason is very simple, each one olive Like all fruit trees, olive trees must be "cooked in batches into a", just as the apple Apple, some red ripe apples, some apples are still Sentimental, if you want to pay attention to Taiwanese-called "in-cong red" perfect maturity, must be the "people" to observe maturity, then eleven removal; Abstract close Olive perfectly cooked degree versa.
Young black olives in "a smear" is olive firstfruits, this chapter makes the squeeze of virgin extra virgin olive oil with a natural sweet incense, and the remaining majority of cyan, it is a vibrant young olives, will bring stimulation and impact on the taste of olive oil. Using the "one-third of black-thirds green" ripening degree virgin olive squeeze extra virgin olive oil, can achieve the perfect balance of aroma and taste. After each olive experts, based on experience, and then mixed in different proportions "pure green" olive virgin olive oil squeeze to get the best taste of olive oil every pursuit. Of course, Italy according to different regions, different olive varieties, different taste of local culture, to produce the olive oil aroma taste, but also a big difference. Like wine in general, to be able to totally understand the "olive oil" is never easy, but I own a few small tricks summarize, let me be more efficient, to distinguish the quality of olive oil around. I suggest that you love olive oil, and I enjoy learning, virgin from Italy around the smallholders virgin olive oil, Italian olive oil culture crops grown in china experience.
