 Our
oils are produced only after a long year of work done with passion
and dedication by all our members: "Antheo DOP Monti Iblei
sottozona Frigintini", "Antheo" and "Gocce".
The
numerous chemical analyses performed on them show very interesting
characteristics:

Yet
we believe that the final consumer – besides the organoleptic
assessment by a qualified "test panel" and the indispensable
tasting assessment for the guarantee and certification in accordance
with the law (Reg. CEE 2568/91) of the excellent quality of the
product obtained – also appreciates the following information
concerning each oil:
ANTHEO®
il D.O.P.:
80% is extracted from the species "Moresca"
while the remaining 20% is from the "Verdese"; it is
characterized by an emerald green colour, a delicate flavour,
a persistent aroma of freshly cut grass and a definite taste of
artichoke. Its extraction from drupes harvested just when the
olives begin to darken allowing for a full appreciation of its
freshness.
It can be appreciated raw on all kinds of fish, on salads and
white meats and on all delicate dishes.
ANTHEO®
l’extravergine: the wise coupling of the
more deeply rooted species in the territory, the "Moresca"
and the "Biancolilla", offers a product with particular
characteristics. Among its different features we believe important
to point out its intense fruity taste with a light scent of green
tomatoes; its clearly detectable density and robustness are not
strong enough to "cover" the taste of the food, on the
contrary they enhance it.
On
the other side the GOCCE
is characterized by being unblended oil from the "Moresca"
species, the most traditional and secular tree since time immemorial.
Rooted on the Ibleo plateau and reflecting all of its characteristics;
it is indeed a delicate product, recalling floral scents, spicy
and bitterish its taste does not let down the expectations, which
its fruity taste promises. It’s recommended for all dishes,
yet complements best fish and salads.
| INFORMAZIONI
UTILI |
Extra
virgin olive oil is known for its virtues and good qualities
that enhance the culinary aspect, yet also the aspects relevant
to living quality and health are interesting.
Its
natural components, amongst which stands out oleic
acid, have a defined function in regard to cholesterol
containment, while at the same time have a positive effect
on HDL proteins (the so-called “good
cholesterol”); it also has nutritional and metabolic
characteristics that distinguish it from other oils and make
it fit for any sport activity, any diet and every health and
age condition; it has innumerable beneficial effects on the
organism, like reducing cholesterol levels and delaying aging.
The
results of recent epidemiological surveys concerning the relation
between the nature of fat substances forming the diet and
the incidence of cardiovascular illnesses and arteriosclerosis
highlighted the important role of olive oil in determining
a low incidence of the above-mentioned pathologies among its
consumers.
 These
results are mainly associated with the composition of olive
oil fat acids, and in particular the remarkable percentage
of a monounsaturated fat acid: the oleic acid, and the balanced
presence of saturated and polyunsaturated fat acids. Even
the presence of other minor olive oil components, like sterols,
triterpenic alcohols and betacarotene has positive effects
on some human body functions with beneficial healthy results.
Also
important quantities of natural anti-oxidizers, like the polyphenols
and the tocopherols are present in extra virgin olive oil,
and they not only protect the oil from oxidation during its
preservation phase, but they also inhibit the formation of
free radicals that determine the ageing of the cells. Such
characteristics are exclusive of extra virgin olive oil, which,
therefore, is among the rare and precious vegetable oils.
