Kamin’s Magic Oil
NEW IN
I have picked this year’s Bella Figura extra virgin olive oil 2024 selection
“Oh and the oil is just divine! We love it. Definitely a difference between the supermarket brands. ”
2024’s selection is in!
Fresh, delicious and bright green, our new harvest of olive oil is in! These olives went to the frantoio (olive mill) on 19th November 2024! Our first cold press extra virgin olive oil is available to buy now, and can be shipped all over the world (to ship to some countries we require a minimum order).
The best olive oil extract with the most nutrients is oil that comes from the first cold press of the olives itself. It is more nutritionally rich than ordinary olive oil, richer in polyphenol antioxidants than regular extra virgin olive oils.
Because green olives don’t contain much oil, ‘green’ oil is more expensive. Use it for dipping fine breads in, drizzle on mozzarella cheese, on bruschetta or fresh on raw or cooked vegetables, salads, soups, seafood and meat – it will highlight any dish. This olive oil is available in very limited quantity as production has
a very short season, and especially so weather patterns are increasingly unreliable these days. So order fast to avoid disappointment!
Medicinal
Hundreds of medical and scientific studies have analysed and praised the beneficial properties of extra virgin olive oil, a vegetable juice with unique chemical and nutritional properties, a food/medicine rich in a particular nutritional combination of fatty acids and a series of anti-oxidant micro-elements unobtainable elsewhere.
The unparalleled balance between saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats of extra virgin olive oil is significantly like that of human breast milk. The balanced composition of oleic acid and vitamin F (fatty acids in the omega 3 and omega 6 series) lowers bad cholesterol and maintains the levels of good cholesterol, thus protecting the arteries and the heart and lowering the risk of cardio-vascular diseases. In addition, its delicate emollient action on the tissues and its protective action on the gastro-intestinal mucosa help regulate digestion.
“I can honestly tell you that I have not tasted anything better!! It is beautiful.”
The vast and complex range of micro-constituents and antioxidant molecules make our fresh extra virgin olive oil a true elixir of good health. Bitter, tannic polyphenol compounds such as tyrosol, hydrotyrosol and oleuropein, tocopherols (or vitamin E), pigmented substances such as carotenoids, terpenes with their fruity fragrance, and squalene – all of these elements have important antioxidant, anti-inflammatory functions in cell protection, for the digestion and in stimulating gastric and liver secretions.
ColognoLe Estate
Tuscan olives have been known as the best olives in Italy since ancient Roman times. Even today, Tuscan olives are famous in Italy for making olive oil with an amazing flavour and excellent digestive qualities and nutrition. The recipes for olive oil have been passed down through generations from the Romans and Etruscans onwards.
Since the pandemic, I have been collaborating with the gorgeous wine estate of Colognole in order to be of best help and support to my local community as well as providing the most extraordinary olive oil in terms of taste and nutritional benefit.
We live on the Colognole estate – which also features in Bella Figura. And I have decided to do this collaboration because I love
this land, and our friends who are the stewards of this land are the experts on working it. Their family has been here for generations, these are the trees that I live with and among daily, and their oil is the most delicious I have ever tasted. This way my customers get to support a small traditional family business that takes excellent care of the land and its bountiful produce.
Olives are an extraordinary fruit and very sensitive to handling and processing. We are close friends with the family that owns the Colognole estate and I know their deep connection with the land and their love and respect for it well. This year’s harvest was carried out over four weeks from late October to the end of November and I have tasted oil from every day’s harvest to pick the one to sell as my Bella Figura 2024 selection. This was, as always, an extraordinary and educational experience for me and I am thrilled with the oil they are bottling exclusively for my readers. These olives were picked and pressed on 19th November and combine a fullness of taste, with a wonderful pepperiness and bitterness that unfolds on the back of the throat. The chemical analysis shows that it has zero acidity and a very high instance of polyphenols. This past year’s extreme weather (months of unusually extreme heat in the summer followed by a very wet autumn) has given us a relatively good yield (and the oil is very tasty indeed) and our first press olive oil is available in limited quantities. So the maximum order this year is for 6 bottles per order. Place your orders quickly as our ‘green gold’ is extra precious this year.
“I am loving it. So different from the oils I usually buy. Thank you again. ”
