Description
olixir®, an elixir crafted in collaboration with nature.
At Food for Health®, we work with nature to extract olixir®, the freshest, organic extra virgin olive oil, sourced from the latest harvest done in October 2024, in Sicily.
Aroma/Taste
olixir®’s bouquet has a fruity aura, opening with elegant notes of green olives, followed by fresh and herbaceous ones of wild herbs and artichoke, ending in a hint of black pepper. In mouth, it’s well rounded and harmonious. The gustative and retro-nasal sensations match and enhance its aromas. It proudly reveals a degree of pleasant bitterness and piquancy witnessing the presence of polyphenols.
Health Properties of olixir®: High Potency Nutrition Made In Collaboration With Nature.
Our olives are organically grown and harvested early, when they are green. We cold press them within 12 hours through a low-oxygen impact system. We then filter the oil through cellulose panels to remove 100% residues. The end result is olixir®, our high potency organic extra virgin olive oil. Rich in aromas, taste and above all health boosting nutrients. See how we grow our olives and extract our oil .
