Yuzu Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 250ml
This limited-release olive oil is the result of an exciting collaboration with Mountain Yuzu, specialty citrus growers based in North-East Victoria. Whole yuzu fruit and olives are cold-pressed together resulting in an incredibly aromatic and unique flavoured oil.
Particularly delicious paired with raw fish or ceviche, use to dress Japanese-style salads or as a fabulous twist to a traditional olive oil cake recipe! Agrumato is the traditional Italian method of pressing citrus fruits with olives to create a delectable zesty olive oil.
At Mount Zero, once a year they press a range of different fruits with Frantoio olives. The result is amazing - this range is a hit with chefs, home cooks and award judges across the country. Find out more about this amazing product here.
Premium Promise: All Mount Zero Olive Oil is cold-pressed (room temperature) just hours after harvest to maintain premium quality.
Chemistry / Nutrition: * Total Biophenols; 265 parts per million. Biophenols are the antioxidants that give extra virgin olive oil its great flavour (pepperiness & bitterness) and incredible health properties. Typical oils range between 120 ppm and 350 pmm. * Free Fatty Acid (FFA); 0.11%. To be considered extra virgin olive oil the oil must have a free acidity, expressed as free oleic acid, of no more than 0.8 grams per 100 grams and no sensory defects. In a sense, the FFA level indicates the fruit’s condition at the time the oil was extracted. It's essentially a freshness quotient.
