Use it cold to maximize the benefits
To preserve all these extraordinary properties, it is essential to use extra virgin olive oil raw. EVO oil has a very high smoke point, above 190°C, making it more stable than other fats such as butter (smoke point 150°C) and many refined seed oils (which often contain less healthy fats and oxidize easily). However, to obtain the maximum nutritional benefit, especially on a keto diet, it is advisable to add it to foods after cooking.
The Quality of Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Not All Are the Same
It is not enough to choose any extra virgin olive oil to obtain these benefits. To ensure a truly beneficial product, it is essential that it is rich in polyphenols and has low acidity. Acidity, which cannot be perceived in tasting but is determined with chemical analysis, must be less than 0.8% to be considered extra virgin. Our evo oil, thanks to careful selection and processing, always has an acidity lower than 0.4%.
How do we manage to obtain an extra virgin olive oil with such low acidity?
Our excellence comes from a process that is taken care of down to the smallest details:
- The olives are mainly harvested by hand, in perfect health conditions.
- The pressing always takes place within 24 hours of harvesting.
- The mill is kept in impeccable condition, with machinery cleaned after each processing cycle.
Thanks to these precautions we obtain a super EVO oil , with an extraordinary aromatic profile and a high concentration of polyphenols.
Which Oil to Choose for Your Ketogenic Diet?
If you are looking for an intense oil rich in polyphenols, our Rocca de' Rossi Intense Fruity is the ideal choice. Its spicy and bitter character indicates a strong presence of antioxidants, perfect for a healthy diet. If instead you prefer a more delicate taste to season and enhance your low-carb dishes, our Terra Gentile EVO Oil is perfect to accompany all your ketogenic recipes without overpowering their flavors.
