Why we cold press our olives to make Holive Oil extra virgin olive oil

We are fanatical about the quality of our olive oil, which is why we cold press our olives. The benefits of the cold press process for making extra virgin olive oil include:

  1. Higher levels of nutrients and antioxidants: Cold pressing preserves the natural nutrients and antioxidants in olives, resulting in a healthier, more flavorful oil.
  2. Better taste and aroma: Cold pressing allows the full flavor and aroma of the olives to be preserved, resulting in a more robust and nuanced taste.
  3. Greater purity and quality: Cold pressing produces purer, higher-quality oil because it does not involve the use of heat or chemicals, which can compromise the oil’s flavor and health benefits.
  4. Better for the environment: it is a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly method of producing olive oil because it does not require the use of large amounts of energy or water.
