0.4º and 1º OLIVE OIL

Production process:

Crismona is fully committed to offering its customers the entire range of olive oils existing on the market today. We have therefore included two different grades of olive oil (obtained by blending refined olive oil with virgin olive oil) within our product range. Our 0.4º olive oil contains a lower proportion of virgin oil, and our 1º has a higher proportion. Both the refined olive oil and the virgin olive oil we use are of superior quality. Our aim is to maintain the same quality line as with our extra virgin olive oils.

Characteristics:

Bouquet and Flavour:
In general, these oils are not known for their great sensory qualities. This is because they are largely made up of refined olive oil, which has no aroma, taste or smell. We therefore add high quality virgin olive oil to the blend: this provides it with the qualities which certain of its components are lacking. These oils are a result of this process, and we produce them in two different qualities (0.4º, which has a less intense flavour, and 1º, which is more intense). Both have a slightly fruity taste and bouquet and are very smooth-tasting.

Colour:
The colour of an oil always depends on its composition, in the same way as its bouquet and flavour do. The 0.4º therefore has a strong yellow-golden tone with no green hints at all, while the 1º has intense green tones.

Use:
These olive oils are ideal for use in cooking, being lower-quality oils than the extra virgin variety. Their smooth, sweet flavour and lack of a strong aroma make them a favourite with many cooks for dishes where they do not want the taste of the oil to be over-dominating. It should be remembered however that it is always better to use an extra virgin olive oil with milder natural qualities than a blend of refined and virgin olive oil.

POMACE OLIVE OIL

Production process:

Pomace oil, like olive oil, is composed partly of refined pomace oil and partly of virgin olive oil. In order to enhance and improve its qualities we have developed a pomace olive oil with a very high virgin olive oil content.
This oil has an acidity level of 0.6º, which is an excellent level compared with all our competitors' oils.

Characteristics:

Bouquet and flavour:
A careful, precise use of virgin olive oil in the preparation of this oil gives it a light aroma and its smooth taste is reminiscent of fresh, healthy fruit.

Colour:
Pomace oil has an emerald green colour as a result of the virgin olive oil used to produce it.

Use:
This oil is especially recommendable for all kinds of frying. Its method of preparation provides it with special qualities and makes it much more suitable for this purpose than other oils commonly used for frying. It is definitely the best option as regards value for money if large amounts of frying are to be done.
