What Makes This Oil Exceptional

Our partner producer in Portugal uses a high-vacuum malaxation process, removing oxygen during the most oxidation-prone stage of production. This advanced technique preserves the oil’s phenolic content, chemistry, and flavour integrity, resulting in superior freshness, stability, and nutritional value.
