Olive oil with character

Since millenia, there have been myths and stories about the gnarled olive tree, its fruits and the oil that is produced from them. Since the beginning of time, the inhabitants of the Mediterranean region have associated indulgence, joy of life and health with olives. Olive oil is used in cosmetics, in medicinal products and especially for a healthy lifestyle. The acclaimed traditional Mediterranean kitchen would be unthinkable without olive oil. Olive oil is a versatile companion for many dishes and is also used for steaming and frying at temperatures up to 180°C.

Enjoying diversity

Olive oil flavor is extremely diverse. The flavor is affected by the climate, the soil, the region and the respective location of the olive grove as well as by the olive variety - there are more than 150 different olive varieties. Olive oil flavor ranges from bitter, fresh, fruity, mild, green, strong or scratchy all the way to herbal tastes. Discover the broad variety of delicate olive oil specialties. Depending on the cultivation area and the variety, every olive oil has its particular character.

Olive oil has a high content of monounsaturated oleic acid and different polyphenol compounds that contribute to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress.

Gourmets prefer young, freshly pressed oil with a distinct aroma, a certain pungency, bitterness and a slight roughness. Oils that are made with mild olives also have extra virgin quality, but have a less pronounced aroma. During storage, every olive oil is losing its pungency and gets milder.

We know exactly where all of our olive oils come from: we entertain long-term, personal supplier relations with all our olive growers. We regularly visit all our olive growers and are therefore familiar with local conditions and have access to first-hand information. This also has positive effects on the quality of Rapunzel olive oils: transparency - from the olive grove all the way to your table.

Careful harvest and gentle pressing

Olives are harvested from October through February. Our olive growers carefully chose the best time of harvest in order to produce best quality olive oil. The fruit are manually picked and transported immediately to nearby oil mills. This labor-intense time requires a lot of expertise.

In the mill, the olives are washed, crushed and pressed. All Rapunzel olive oils are processed at a maximum temperature of 30 °C. Subsequently, olive oil and olive waters are separated from each other through centrifugation. In the next step, the olive pulp is filtered out from the oil.

Polyphenolia olive oil, extra virgin

green, pungent, full of character, with an extraordinarily high polyphenol concentration - 500 mg/kg

Polyphenolia is a fruity, extra virgin olive oil that is full of character and has intense green notes. The high polyphenol content gives the oil a distinct pungency and delicate bitterness. At the same time, these properties are quality markers for a top quality olive oil. The oil is made with young, green olives that come from one of the oldest Italian olive groves.

During the processing of Polyphenolia, we put our special focus on the conservation of the valuable polyphenols. Olive oil polyphenols contribute to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress. The positive health effects require a daily uptake of 20g olive oil. With Polyphenolia olive oil, only 10g (1-2 tablespoon) are needed.

For this seasoning oil, the olives are gently pressed with lemons without any external heating.
