"Olive oil polyphenols contribute to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress."

Analytics reports

Frantoio olive oil analytics

Organic olive oil analytics

Below is a brief explanation of the meaning of each analytical parameter:

Free Acidity. This is a general indicator of the quality of extra virgin olive oil. It reflects the condition of the olives at the time of milling, as well as the care taken during production and storage. (Learn more about the acidity of virgin olive oils). To be classified as extra virgin olive oil, free acidity must not exceed 0.8%.

K270. This parameter indicates the level of secondary oxidation by measuring compounds such as aldehydes, ketones and conjugated trienes. High K270 values are generally associated with rancid defects. To qualify as extra virgin olive oil, the K270 value must not exceed 0.22.

K232. This parameter measures primary oxidation and provides an indication of the oil's initial state of oxidation. To qualify as extra virgin olive oil, the K232 value must not exceed 2.50.

Delta K. This parameter helps detect the presence of refined olive oil mixed with virgin olive oil. For extra virgin olive oil, the Delta K value must be no higher than 0.01.

Polyphenols. Polyphenols are naturally occurring compounds in olive oil with recognised antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. According to EU legislation, a daily intake of 20 g of olive oil containing at least 250 mg/kg of polyphenols allows the authorised health claim that "olive oil polyphenols contribute to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress". (Learn more about olive oil polyphenols).

Pesticide Residue Analysis Report

Our olive groves are managed in accordance with the principles of Integrated Production, with the aim of minimising the use of plant protection products and fertilisers. The analytical results confirm that all our olive oils are free from detectable pesticide residues.

Las Valdesas Extra Virgin Olive Oils are unfiltered. In Las Valdesas we prefer not to filter the olive oils because aromas and flavors can get lost. That's why it has vegetable remains in suspension that are those who give the cloudiness to the olive oils. (More differences between filtered and unfiltered olive oils)

In our stainless steel tanks these vegetable particles are decanted throughout the months in a natural way, and settle at the bottom of the tanks. Therefore, if you have bought them just after the season, between November and January, the olive oil will be newly ground and it will be cloudy; while, if you buy them later, they will be more transparent because much of these elements in suspension will be already decanted.

Because of the extra virgin olive oil is a fruit juice, we recommend its consumption as fresh as possible. This way, it preserves all its nourishing and culinary qualities. However, some customers do not like the Olive Oils too fresh. We recommend to these clients to purchase the olive oils from May, when the oils are practically decanted, or in case that they have already acquired them, to preserve them before consuming for some months, since they will decant also in the bottles.

In the picture, we show you two glass flasks with our extra virgin olive oils. The one on the left is cloudier than the right one. Both are unfiltered and harvested the same year.

But there are two differences: the olive oil on the left was produced at the end of December and the other one on the right, at the beginning of the season, at the end of October and early November, therefore the second has had two more months to decant.

On the other hand, the olive oil on the left is from Hojiblanca variety, while the other is Arbequina variety, two of our five Single Extra Virgin Monovarietals.

The Olive Oil of the variety Hojiblanca, at least that of Las Valdesas, is the slower decanting among all of them. In fact the picture was taken in July.

Olive oil becomes cloudy

We are often asked about filtered olive oil that becomes cloudy.

This mainly happens to our customers in Europe during the winter. As temperatures drop from 15°C to 5°C, some fatty acids in the oil start to solidify. Before fully freezing, the oil takes on a cloudy appearance, making it look unfiltered.

Simply warming the bottle near a heat source will restore the oil to its clear, filtered look. Rest assured, the olive oil is perfectly safe to consume.

Las Valdesas online shop works as 'e-commerce secure' using 'MasterCard SegureCode' and ' Verified by Visa'.

These systems involve the verification of the identity of the holder of the card by using any method established by the issuing bank card: a security code sent to your mobile phone, a personal pin, the creation of a virtual credit card, etc.

In case that it has been impossible to complete the purchase process, it is possible that your credit card does not support the previous security systems, or have not been activated yet, therefore we recommend you to contact to the bank that issued you the card.

We are often asked why we package our olive oil in PET plastic. These questions arise from different perspectives, including oil preservation, health, the environment, and the brand image that our packaging conveys.

Plastic packaging from the point of view of preservation

There are two reasons why some people consider it inappropriate to package olive oil in plastic.

• It is said that plastic containers are porous and allow air to pass through, causing the oil to oxidise. On the other hand, glass and metal containers are impermeable to air.

Regarding this point, we have not found any data on the degree of this porosity. To what extent is it relevant over 1, 2, 5 or 10 years in an unopened container? As we understand it, the porosity must be very low, since PET plastic is used to package water, whose molecule (H₂O) is much smaller than an oxygen molecule (O₂) (a little more than half its size). We do not quite understand how PET can be impermeable to water but not to oxygen. If anyone reading this can provide a satisfactory explanation, we would be pleased to hear it.

On the other hand, once the cap or seal of a PET, glass or metal container has been opened, its porosity is no longer relevant, because air enters the container every time it is used, regardless of how impermeable the material itself may be.

• If the plastic is transparent, sunlight deteriorates the oil.

In this case, we absolutely agree. This has a significant impact when the oil is sold in shops and supermarkets. When displayed in shop windows or on shelves under sunlight or artificial lighting, the effect is considerable.

Packaging to order and direct online sales reduce this problem because the customer receives the product in an opaque cardboard box without it having been exposed to light. It can then be stored in a place away from direct light.

Why do you use transparent plastic?

Since we sell our oil online, light exposure is not a problem, so we prefer to use transparent plastic. We like to be able to see the colour of the oil and check its appearance, and we also like our customers to be able to appreciate the differences in colour between our various olive oil varieties, as well as between our filtered and unfiltered oils.

Plastic containers from a health point of view

Plastic packaging has always been under suspicion because it may contain substances that are harmful to health and could migrate into food and be ingested.

As scientific studies identify these substances and the authorities subsequently restrict their use, we at Las Valdesas require our suppliers to eliminate them from their containers and to provide the corresponding certification.

For example, our plastic containers are free from Bisphenol A.

Plastic packaging from an environmental point of view

The main drawback we see with plastic containers is that they are not biodegradable. This remains an unsolved problem.

On the other hand, PET plastic is already recycled in most European countries, although the use of recycled PET is restricted by the legislation of each country. In some countries, recycled PET is already permitted for food packaging. It is not yet permitted in Spain. As soon as legislation allows it, and provided we are satisfied that suppliers comply with all health requirements, we will investigate the possibility of using it.

We are also keeping an eye on the new generation of plastic containers made from vegetable waste, such as potatoes. However, to date we have only found them being used for solid food containers in restaurants, and we understand that their shelf life is shorter than what is required for olive oil packaging.

As soon as we find a container with these characteristics that guarantees the proper storage of olive oil, we will use it.

Plastic containers from the point of view of marketing

Here are some of the questions and comments we have received from customers, professionals and friends:

• If your oil is so good, why do you package it in plastic?
• A high-quality oil deserves a container that reflects its excellence.
• Is the oil in the 5-litre containers the same as the oil in the half-litre bottles? Yes.

Any marketing expert would probably tell us that we are doing it wrong. That reminds me of something my father used to say:

"We are not glassmakers; we simply want to sell a fantastic olive oil at a reasonable price so that it can be used in every kitchen."

This principle is difficult to achieve with glass packaging.

The advantages of plastic over other packaging materials are:

• It is inexpensive. (We do not want to make our oils unnecessarily more expensive.)
• It is lightweight. (This is important for keeping shipping costs as low as possible.)
• It is resistant to breakage. (At least much more so than glass, which helps reduce breakages during transport.)

In summary

These are the reasons why we package our olive oil in PET plastic.

In any case, for customers who prefer not to use plastic containers, our olive oil is also available in glass bottles and tin cans.

Finally, we would like to emphasise that the olive oil in a 5-litre PET bottle is exactly the same as the olive oil in a 0.5-litre glass bottle.
