The price of olive oil is linked to a number of important factors: the production method, origin, the time of harvesting and the quality of the olives.
In short: the price of olive oil reflects how much care and craftsmanship goes into every drop.
Organic extra virgin olive oil is distinguished by its pure production. The olives grow without pesticides or artificial fertilisers, which is not only better for nature, but also for your health.
Because organic cultivation requires more manual labour and produces lower yields, the price is higher. On the other hand, the oil is rich in antioxidants and polyphenols - natural substances that protect cells and help reduce inflammation.
You can read more about this in our blogs:
At Sidi, the olives are hand-picked, cold-pressed within six hours and never chemically treated. This produces an oil with a high polyphenol content and a full, fruity flavour.
If you look at olive oil healthy, extra virgin olive oil tops the list. This is the oil from the first cold pressing, which retains all the natural substances.
Unlike refined olive oil, extra virgin still contains all the antioxidants, vitamins and unsaturated fats. This combination supports the heart, lowers inflammation and helps balance your cholesterol.
Refined olive oil is not unhealthy, but it contains less nutritional value. If you want the full health benefits, choose an organic extra virgin olive oil, which is richest in nutrients as well as flavour.
Not every bottle of olive oil can call itself “extra virgin”. To get that title, the oil must meet strict European standards.
A extra virgin olive oil:
The term virgin means the oil is pure, without refining. Extra virgin indicates the highest quality - the first pressing of fresh olives.
These strict requirements make production more labour-intensive and thus more expensive, but also ensure the best quality. You taste the difference immediately: extra virgin olive oil has a rich, complex flavour with notes of fruit and herbs, and often a slight peppery aftertaste.
Premium olive oil, such as those from Sidi, is not just another product. It is the result of craftsmanship, care and respect for nature and tradition.
Our olive oil is 100% organic, hand-picked and cold-pressed within six hours. No pesticides or fertilisers are used, and each bottle contains the oil of 10 to 12 kilos of fresh olives.
That explains not only the price, but also the taste, smell and nutritional value. Just a little bit of Sidi makes a big difference - both in the kitchen and in your health.
