What does "single source" mean in the context of Papa Vince Olive Oil?
"Single source" means that all the olives used to produce the oil come from a single estate. At Papa Vince: Valley of Belice, Sicily, Italy.
This ensures consistent quality and flavor, as the olives are grown, harvested, and processed under the same conditions. The single source approach allows for complete traceability, meaning every bottle of Papa Vince EVOO reflects the unique terroir and meticulous care of our family-owned orchards, guaranteeing a pure and authentic product.
Can you explain the significance of using Nocellara del Belice olives in your olive oil?
Nocellara del Belice Olives = 3X Hydroxytyrosol compared to other High-Quality EVOOs!
The use of Nocellara del Belice olives in Papa Vince Olive Oil is significant due to their exceptionally high hydroxytyrosol content.
While high-quality extra virgin olive oils typically contain around 5 mg/kg of hydroxytyrosol, Papa Vince EVOO boasts an impressive 16.8 mg/kg—+3X the amount found in other premium extra virgin olive oils.
This remarkable level is due to the Nocellara del Belice olive variety, which naturally contains about 2X as much hydroxytyrosol (around 10 mg/kg). Papa Vince's meticulous care and quality processes elevate this even further, making it a truly exceptional source of this powerful antioxidant.
This high level of hydroxytyrosol enhances the health benefits, providing superior antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that support cardiovascular health and overall well-being, making our EVOO both delicious and highly beneficial.
