Camolio natural olive oil soap An old traditional Sicilian product. A unique soap because it is 100%natural without additives, colourings and added perfumes based on pure olive oil. Delicate and fresh it is a natural moisturizer for dry skin Production process from the tree to the oil The processing of olive oil, which is at the base of the Mediterranean diet, consists of several stages from hand picking to cold pressing. Read how Camolio oil is created with cold pressing in our traditional olive press The harvest Olive harvesting takes place from the end of October to January depending on the climate and the latitude of the olive trees. This phase is essential and delicate because if the olives are not picked at exactly the right moment they may be bruised. Hand picking, called stripping, is the best way even though it is very slow and expensive because it ensures that the olives are not damaged. At our farm we have always carried out the picking by hand or by combing, which means raking the branches with wooden rakes to cause the ripe olives to drop in order to obtain a flawless, organoleptic oil with a low level of acidity Preparation The olives arrive at our press “Emanuele” immediately after being picked and they are prepared for pressing. The dust, twigs and leaves are removed and after being washed in cold water, they are placed on a vibrating grill to get rid of excess water and any other impurities Crushing The olives are uniformly crushed without raising the temperature because heat may spoil the quality of the oil. For this reason IL TRIONFO olive oil is obtained by using traditional methods. Crushing produces a paste which is neither lumpy nor too smooth and if you touch it you can feel fragments of the olive stones Pressing Extra virgin olive oil is obtained by a single pressing which lasts about half an hour. The residue, which is called sansa, is removed and given a different kind of processing to obtain sansa oil. We have chosen not to produce this kind of oil because of its low quality. The best oil is that produced in a single pressing. For every hundred kilos of olives, an average 15-20 kilos of olive oil can be produced compared to 80-85 kilos of sansa. This is the reason why IL TRIONFO extra virgin olive oil is a top quality product because it is made with methods that are more expensive but that guarantee its authentic and unique qualities: Quality without compromise IL TRIONFO olive oil and its characteristics Family tradition handed down for generations and the experience acquired over the decades in the production of olive oil is the best guarantee for the final consumer Our olive oil prodution "IL TRIONFO" olive oil is a top quality local product and can be purchased directly from the producer. We produce two kinds of olive oil (strong and delicate) by differentiating the harvesting times. From October 15 - 31, from the harvest of Nocellara Etnea with a small amount of moresca (which has a pollinating function), we obtain the stronger tasting oil with characteristic organoleptic properties. It has a strong fruity taste with pleasing sensations of grass and green tomato and an interesting bitter, spicy hint. A totally balanced and harmonious oil which, used raw, is perfect for dishes in which the smells and flavours need to be highlighted. A trickle of olive oil gives that herby scent to first courses based on red sauces, cooked vegetables. The hint of green tomato enriches salads and tomato pizza.. The harvest from 1-15 November of Nocellara Etnea with a higher percentage of Moresca produces a lighter oil with pleasant fragrances of leaves, almonds, green apple and other fruit; the taste is harmonious, prevalently sweet with a sharp, spicy undertone . The light fragrance makes it suitable for delicate dishes in order to bring out, but not smother, the flavours of dishes such as fish, antipasto, white or boiled meat. The oil contains a low number of peroxides which protects the oil from oxidisation and has a low level of acidity usually around 0.25.
