NORSAN OLIVE OIL

World’s best olive oil?

The olive oil which is used in our Total Oil, Vegan Oil and Fisk Oil is produced of Oro del Desierto. The olive farmer, Rafael with his family, works according to strict ecological guidelines. His excellent olive oil wins top-awards on a regular basis. We feel proud that we are allowed to use this valued olive oil in our products. Only the best is good enough for our products. 

The olive groves are located in a small valley in Tabernas (Almería) in southern Spain near Málaga, where there are more than 3000 hours of sunshine per year and the dry, stable climate leads to this special product. The geographical location is also unique, as it is irrigated directly from the mountain range (Sierra Nevada). 

We visit Rafael regularly at his olive grove. Not only because it’s beautiful there, but because we believe that a personal and strong relationship is beneficial for ensuring high and consistent quality.

“Oro del Desierto” is not only organic and rich in polyphenols (> 350 mg/kg), but it also tastes fantastic—with a slight peppery note, as with all good olive oils.

The olives are harvested and taken directly to the press, so they are usually pressed within 2 hours. And Rafael also guarantees that pressing will take place within 4 hours in any case.

This olive oil was selected specifically for its high polyphenol content (> 350 mg/kg). Polyphenols from olives are important antioxidants, and they protect the delicate omega-3 fatty acids as they travel through our bodies. They ensure that the omega-3 fatty acids reach their destination intact.
