Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (PICUAL - Max acidity 1%)
Country Of Origin : Spain
Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (PICUAL - Max acidity 1%).
Ingredients: 100% Olive Oil, Edible Grade. Superior quality Olive Oil is obtained through grinding and extracting the oil by purely mechanical cold process (Under 25°C) of olive fruits grown without the use of synthetic chemicals / pesticides.
Contains: Oleic Acid 0.8%, for strong aroma & rich flavour try our Oleic Acid 0.2% extra virgin olive oil.
Description: After olives are picked and washed, they're crushed sometimes between two big stones, but now more commonly by steel blades. The resulting paste is stirred to release the oil droplets in a process called maceration, before being spun in a centrifuge to pull out the oil and water. After the water is removed, what is left is olive oil.
Why PICUAL - Max acidity 1%?
Picual extra virgin olive oil has an acid concentration that does not exceed 1%. It has a strong fruity flavor and has an intense green color, unlike other oils that look like liquid gold.
To begin with, an olive oil should never exceed 2% acidity, and if it does, that oil should not be on the market as it is not healthy. Virgin olive oil acidity is usually lower than 2%, and the extra virgin variety, which is the highest quality, has less than 0.8% acidity, as is the case with Carapelli oils.
Packed & Marketed by: Hashmitha Enterprise, Tirupur, India.
Produced by: Aceities El Malaga, Celle Casares, Spain.
Certified Organic by: CAAE.

Kinsfolk Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is produced by Aceities El Malaga, a renowned name in the olive oil industry, located in Celle Casares, Spain. This region is famed for its ideal growing conditions, yielding olives that are rich in flavor and nutrients. The careful cultivation and extraction processes ensure that every drop of Kinsfolk olive oil is of the highest quality.

This not only ensures that you are consuming a product that is gentle on the environment but also one that is free from harmful residues, preserving the natural integrity of the olive oil.
The variety of olives used in Kinsfolk Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is PICUAL, one of the most prized olive varieties in the world. Known for its robustness and rich flavor profile, PICUAL olives give the oil an intense green color and a powerful, fruity aroma. Here’s why PICUAL is particularly special:
Maximum Acidity: 1% PICUAL olive oil has an acidity level that does not exceed 1%. This low acidity level is a hallmark of high-quality extra virgin olive oil. It indicates minimal processing and high nutritional content. Oils with higher acidity levels may indicate a lower quality or a higher level of processing.
Oleic Acid: 0.8% Oleic acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid that is highly beneficial for health. In Kinsfolk olive oil, the oleic acid content is 0.8%, making it not only flavorful but also heart-healthy. For a stronger aroma and richer flavor, you may opt for the variant with 0.2% oleic acid.
The production of Kinsfolk Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil involves purely mechanical processes. The grinding and extraction are done at temperatures under 25°C (usually referred to as "cold-pressing"). This method preserves the natural flavors, aromas, and nutritional properties of the olive oil.
Grinding and Crushing After the olives are harvested and washed, they are crushed to create a paste. This crushing can be done using traditional large stones or modern steel blades.
Maceration The olive paste is then stirred in a process called maceration, which helps to release the oil droplets.
Centrifugation The paste is spun in a centrifuge to separate the oil from the water.
Post-Production Once the oil is extracted, water is removed, leaving behind pure olive oil.
Kinsfolk Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil boasts a robust and fruity flavor, thanks to its low acidity and the quality of PICUAL olives. The oil has a strong, pungent aroma, making it an excellent choice for drizzling over dishes to enhance their flavor. Its intense green color is also an indicator of its superior quality.
From drizzling over salads to cooking gourmet dishes, Kinsfolk Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is versatile. Here are some suggested uses:
Salads and Dressings Its fruity notes can elevate a simple green salad or vinaigrette, adding complexity and depth.
Cooking While extra virgin olive oil is often reserved for cold applications, Kinsfolk's high-quality oil can be used for cooking at moderate temperatures, providing a rich flavor to sautéed vegetables, pasta dishes, and more.
