In Ayozar Oils we understand the Extra Virgin Olive Oil as much more than an ingredient: it is culture, origin, flavor and a way to enjoy gastronomy with discretion. When we talk about PREMIUM EVOO, many people automatically think of a single idea: the last harvest is always the best option. But what if the correct question was something else? Are we talking only about preferential consumption or also about intelligent consumption?
The quality of a great oil depends not only on when it is produced, but also on how it is used.
What does the best before date really mean?
There is some confusion about this concept. The best-before date does not mean that, once it has passed, the product is no longer suitable for consumption. What it indicates is the period in which the oil maintains all its sensory and organoleptic characteristics at their maximum level.
In an EVOO, over time natural changes can occur such as:
- A decrease in intense green aromas.
- An evolution towards softer flavors.
- A gradual reduction of certain antioxidant compounds.
- Lower intensity in some aromatic nuances.
However, this does not mean automatic loss of quality. It means evolution.
and inAyozar OilsWe believe that understanding this evolution allows you to enjoy the oil in a more intelligent way.
PREMIUM EVOO from previous harvests: a smart option for cooking
And AOVE PREMIUM from a previous campaign can continue to offer excellent culinary benefits, especially when it has been made with selected raw materials and preserved correctly.
Therefore, inAyozar OilsWe defend a broader vision of consumption: choosing the right oil for each moment.
A freshly made oil can express all its potential in raw uses:
- toast
- Salads
- Carpaccio
- Cheeses
- Dish finishes
Meanwhile, a AOVE PREMIUM from previous harvests can become a great ally in daily cooking:
- Stir-fried
- Stews
- Roasts
- Stir-fried
- Traditional cuisine
- Confectionery
This is what we understand assmart consumption: take advantage of the qualities of each oil according to the use that best suits them.
In addition, EVOO maintains greater heat stability than many other vegetable oils, making it an excellent choice for cooking.
Oleocanthals: small compounds with great importance
Within the natural wealth of Extra Virgin Olive Oil there are compounds that make each oil have its own personality. Among them stand out theoleocantales.
Oleocanthals are phenolic compounds present in EVOO responsible, in part, for that slight spicy sensation or that tickling in the throat that appears when tasting a high-quality oil.
InAyozar OilsWe know that this sensation that often surprises the consumer is usually a highly appreciated signal in the world of PREMIUM oil.
Its importance lies in several aspects:
- They act as natural antioxidants.
- They help protect the oil against oxidation processes.
- They contribute to its stability.
- They are part of the set of bioactive compounds that make EVOO unique.
With the passage of time, some phenolic compounds can be progressively reduced, but a well-preserved PREMIUM oil continues to maintain part of those properties and remains a highly valuable alternative for certain culinary uses.
Quality also means knowing how to take advantage
Today consumers are looking for more than just a good product. They look for origin, authenticity, sustainability and responsible consumption.
In Ayozar Oils We believe that enjoying oil also means understanding it. A AOVE PREMIUM Freshly made, it offers an extraordinary sensory experience raw, while a PREMIUM EVOO from previous harvests can continue to provide flavor, stability and personality in the kitchen.
The true value of oil lies not only in when it is produced, but also in knowing when and how to use it.
