Crudo Cruto Italy
Among the three major olive oil producing countries, Greece, as the land of olives, is the most protected by the European Union, Spain has achieved the highest yield due to its high degree of mechanization, and Italy is clamped by the hilly terrain, and the area of olive groves is fragmented, so it has to build three times the number of oil mills in Spain, which provides sufficient conditions for the fresh extraction of olives after harvest. This, combined with the high investment in olive oil flavor research and development, has resulted in the highest international prestige of Italian olive oil. The only extra virgin olive oil recommended by Tom Mueller, an olive oil anti-counterfeiting policeman, is from Italy, and one of them is Crudo. Crudo is a typical Italian-style family estate with more than 10,000 olive trees on 22 hectares, a small scale compared to Spanish olive oil cooperatives, which often have tens of thousands of hectares. Because of this, the oil mill is built on the edge of the olive grove, which can guarantee the whole process from picking to bottling within 4 hours, minimizing the oxidation of the olives, and controlling the natural acidity of all within 0.3%, which is lower than most brands on the market. Olive oil fraud is an international problem, and the country is susceptible to natural disasters.
