Harvesting

Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is typically grown and harvested in Mediterranean regions, such as Spain, Italy, and Greece. The olive trees thrive in warm, sunny climates with well-drained soil. The olives are usually harvested in the autumn months when they have ripened to a rich, dark colour. The composition of the olives includes a high percentage of monounsaturated fats, particularly oleic acid, which is known for its health benefits.

After harvesting, the olives are carefully processed to extract the oil. This process often involves cold-pressing, which helps to retain the oil's natural flavours and nutrients. The resulting oil has a vibrant green hue, indicative of its high chlorophyll content. As a natural raw product, organic extra virgin olive oil is rich in antioxidants, vitamins E and K, and beneficial fatty acids. These nutrients contribute to its renowned health properties, including anti-inflammatory and heart-healthy benefits.

The organic nature of Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.
