FRAUD OIL: MORE CONTROLS
Italian oil is the first in quality in Europe, so every Italian company must respect rules and laws in order to protect consumers. Recently Customs Official have discovered many frauds, that have damaged consumers and serious companies. Major inspection of the labels must be carried out. In fact the origin of the olives must be written on the labels. All this is necessary, because in Italy in the year 2007 the imports of foreign oil have increased by 25%. Almost half of the oil sold in Italy has UNKNOWN ORIGIN . With the new European rule on the labels of the bottles of oil,the State where the olives have been picked and transformed into oil must be written. On the other hand, if olives come from different countries, that must be specified. After a research, which has been lead by Coldiretti( the italian agricultural organization ), it's been discovered that: a great quantity of extra virgin olive oil is not up to standard, but many bottles are sold as extra virgin olive oil made in Italy, also if it's Spanish or Greek or Turkish oil. You have to be careful to choose the true extra virgin oil and for doing that, you must purchase from a trustworthy shop. Open your eyes and look at the seriousness of Pasquinoni.

WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT OIL OF HIGH QUALITY ?
Because we can transform olives in oil using the new system of processing, in a natural and faster way, also keeping the organoletic and nourishing properties of the fruit.
HOW IS THE BEST OIL OBTAINED ? Four steps to extract oil:
THE CRUSHING, KNEADING,EXTRACTING AND SEPARATING OF THE OLIVES
1)THE CRUSHING: 2 new crushing machine "frangitori" in stainless steel with a double grating, crushing the olives to obatain a n olive paste. In fact even the olive stone is crushed.
2)THE KNEADING: this part of the plant has been compeletely renovated. The plant has 6 keading machine "gramole" closed with a glass cover from wich the procedure is visible. They are advantageous because there is a minor quantity of oxigen into the olive paste, so that oxidation is delayed.
3)THE EXTRACTION: machine for extraction called, JUMBO3 ,it's a horizontal centrifuge which allows the separation of the oil from water and pieces of stones.
4)The last phase is vertical centrifugal that separate oil and the remaining water.
this is the continuous system of extraction. It's not interrupted until oil is obtained, and every phase of the transformation must be carried out with the maxim cleanliness.

PICKLED GREEN OLIVES
PROCESS AND QUANTITIES FOR 1 KG. OLIVES:
_1 kg green olives picked at the end of September/first days of Octobers _1 litre cold water _25 gr caustic soda (sodium hydroxide)
PREPARATION: 1) Dissolve 25 gr. caustic soda in 1 litre cold water, stirring well the solution in a plastic container; 2) Add 1 kg green olives to the obtained solution (water + caustic soda) and soaked them for about 6 hours. Make sure the olives are completely soaked in the solution for the whole period; 3) Execute constant controls during the soaking period of olives to avoid that the changing in colour of the selected olive pulp (scorch) does not exceed half of the section itself; 4) Once the necessary period ends (olive pulp scorched till 50% of its section), wash out the solution (water + caustic soda) and add clean water. Change water every 2/3 hours, for about 48 hours and, anyway, until the cleaning water becomes clear; 5) Strain olives and place them in glass containers adding a salty solution (50 gr. salt /1 litre water) for preservation. The salty solution must be prepared in advance, boiling water, without any salt and adding it only when water is completely cold.
