SIQEV oils are Extra Virgin Olive Oils (EVOOs) of the highest quality, which are characterised by the unique flavour and aroma of each variety (with fruity, vegetable and
herby notes) as well as its high content in nutritional components, such as antioxidants.
Of the thousands of olive varieties that exist, some of the most widely used ones are: Arbequina, Cornicabra, Empeltre, Hojiblanca, Picual, Aglandau and Cacereña (in Spain); Chetoui, Sayali and Jarboui in Tunisia; Moraiolo, Nocellara del Belize, Ogliarola Barese, Biancolilla, Leccino, Frantoio, Taggiasca, Cucco, Coratina, Rosciola, Pendolino and Carolea (in Italy). Each has its own characteristics and those that bear that SIQEV seal guarantee the maximum strength and personality.
To do this, our farmers work the field as soon as the olives start changing colour, so that they can grind the fruit at its peak ripeness, when the fruit is full of flavour and aromas, as well as a multitude of nutritional benefits. We must point out that our members are producers right from the beginning, so, moments after harvesting, they begin the careful milling process, ensuring that the temperate does not exceed 24ºC which would result in a loss of essential oils.
After milling, the EVOOs are decanted and filtered, to then be kept in cellar with a controlled temperature. Subsequently, the oil is packaged into dark glass bottles or tins which best prevent the degradation of the oil. That is why SIQEV EVOOs are a guarantee for the demanding customer who seeks to savour the product with all its fragrances that are present during the milling process. Furthermore, this is how the oil is guaranteed to have excellent nutritional qualities.
