Bio Planète Organic Olive Oils
The Mediterranean region not only attracts people with a lot of sun and an azure sea, but above all with its Mediterranean lifestyle. In the south of Europe everything can go a little bit slower. Visitors from Northern and Central Europe are surprised that during the midday heat the work is interrupted. The locals take a rest and have a siesta. It is not before the late afternoon that the streets are revived. And along with the evening the appetite comes around. How about eating outside? The evening air is mild and the soil is pleasantly heated by the sun. Sitting down in front of the house with a glass of wine and watching the shadows grow – what a heavenly levity! The lightness of those moments is also reflected in the food: Fresh salad with arugula, garlic bread, fish, tomatoes and mozzarella and of course olive oil. Without this precious oil the Mediterranean cuisine would be inconceivable.
Therefore no plant is as characteristic for the Mediterranean as the olive tree. Its fruits have been harvested for thousands of years by the people there. The documented cultivation of olives in Crete dates back over 5,000 years. The gnarled olive tree holds numerous records. It can reach a diameter of up to eleven meters and can become quite a few hundred years old. Some trees are more than 2,000 years old (and still have fruits). The annual rings of trees reveal more than just their age. The ring-shaped structure in the tree bole is caused by temperature fluctuations within the change of seasons. These also affect the growth of the trees. A tree will never forgets long winters or hot summers. Olive trees take in the climatic characteristics of their environment particularly well and thus pass them on to the olives. The combination of more than 1,000 olive varieties and the unique aroma of the various growing areas create a spectacular richness in taste. Enjoy the flavours of the Mediterranean with characterful olive oils from the oil specialist Bio Planète.
