Los Angeles Extra Virgin Olive Oil Unfiltered 5 L Carafe

Los Angeles Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) Unfiltered is a product that comes in a 5 liter carafe format, ideal for families or for high consumption. Its main characteristic is that it has not been filtered, which gives it particular organoleptic properties and appearance.

Oil Characteristics

• Unfiltered: Unlike traditional EVOO, this oil does not go through the filtering process. This means that it retains small particles in suspension from the olives, which gives it a slightly cloudy or veiled appearance.

• Flavor and aroma: As it is not filtered, this oil preserves more intensely and directly the aromas and flavors of fresh olives. They are usually oils with a more powerful flavor and a more pronounced fruity aroma.

• Nutritional properties: As it is not filtered, it keeps all its microcomponents intact, such as polyphenols and antioxidants, which contribute to its health benefits.

Kitchen Uses

Due to its more intense flavor profile, unfiltered EVOO is ideal for:

• Raw consumption: This is the best use for this type of oil, as its robust flavor and fresh aromas are best appreciated. It is perfect for dressing salads, dipping bread (toast or bread with tomato) and to give a final touch to vegetable dishes or stews.

• Cold dishes: It goes very well with carpaccios, pasta salads or any dish in which oil is the protagonist.

Storage and Preservation

It is important to keep in mind that unfiltered EVOO has a shorter shelf life than filtered oil, as suspended particles may settle over time and cause a slight loss of quality. Recommended:

• Preferential consumption: Use within months of purchase.

• Storage: Store the carafe in a cool, dark place to prevent light and heat from degrading its properties.
