Oil obtained from olives from which the pits have been removed.
Affiorato
Affiorato extra virgin olive oil, is also known as "Fior d’Olio", and is a particular type of extra virgin olive oil. It is obtained by spontaneous "affioramento", i.e. collecting by hand - using the specific ladles - the oil that forms spontaneously on the surface of the olive paste immediately after the olives have been milled. This type of oil forms a very small percentage (2-3%). Some believe it to be the excellence of all extra virgin olive oils, as it has not been processed in any way, as the oil simply emerges spontaneously. It is highly indicated during babies’ weaning stage and in children’s diets. It is a highly expensive oil as it takes many hours more to extract it (it is necessary to stop the machines and wait for it to emerge), and also as a very small percentage is obtained. This type of affiorato extra virgin olive oil does not undergo any extractive/separation force (either centrifuge or pressure). The waters or the olive pit are not involved in this production process when this method is used.
