What are the benefits of unfiltered olive oil?

• Richer Flavour Profile: Unfiltered olive oil retains more of the natural compounds and particulates from the olives, which can result in a more robust and complex flavour. You might notice subtle grassy, fruity, or peppery notes that are often lost in the filtration process.

• Higher Nutrient Content: Because it’s less processed, unfiltered olive oil retains a greater amount of antioxidants, vitamins, and polyphenols. These compounds have been linked to various health benefits, including reduced inflammation and better heart health.

• Enhanced Health Benefits: The unfiltered nature of the oil means it has higher levels of healthy monounsaturated fats and bioactive compounds. These fats may help improve cholesterol levels and support overall cardiovascular health. The presence of additional natural compounds in unfiltered olive oil may also help support the immune system. Polyphenols, for example, have been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

• Authenticity and Purity: Unfiltered olive oil often reflects a more authentic and artisanal production process. It’s closer to the raw form of the olive fruit, providing a more pure representation of the olive’s original taste and nutritional benefits. This also gives a natural sediment that remains and can contribute to its rich texture and taste.

Keep in mind that while unfiltered olive oil can have many benefits, it is also less stable and has a shorter shelf life compared to filtered oils. It’s best enjoyed fresh and stored properly to preserve its quality.

- Keep It Cool: Ideally at temperatures between 60-70°F (15-21°C). Avoid placing it near heat sources like stoves, ovens, or direct sunlight, as heat can accelerate oxidation and spoilage.

- Seal It Tightly: Always ensure that the bottle is tightly sealed when not in use. Exposure to air can lead to oxidation.

- Use Within a Reasonable Time: Aim to use it within 6-12 months of opening for the best flavour and quality.

- Store Away from Strong Odours: Olive oil can absorb strong odours from its surroundings, so keep it away from pungent substances or cleaning products.
