Only The Finest Olive Oil Achieves This Certification
Mooney Farms is proud to announce that its Bella Sun Luci Extra Virgin Olive Oil has been certified by the California Olive Oil Council. Being certified, their oil joins the ranks of the most premium California Estate Grown Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil available today.
The California Olive Oil Council is the only North American certified quality control program that exceeds strict International standards for True Extra Virgin Olive Oil. A Seal-Certified olive oil offers the highest standard of quality to American consumers.
The certified oils have met all requirements for Seal Certification, including:
- Olives mechanically extracted without chemicals or excessive heat
- Less than .5% free eleic acid
- Positive taste elements and no taste defects, as determined during a blind tasting
The California Olive Oil Council awards its seal each year to oils that pass its tests for "extra virgin". Chemical testing in an independent laboratory as well as sensory assessment by a rigorously trained test panel determine whether or not an oil is truly extra virgin. The final step for certification is to pass a blind tasting by the panel. In its evaluation the panel looks for defects that would disqualify the oil as extra virgin, but is also seeking positive attributes such as fruitiness, pungency, and bitterness.
Mooney Farms olives are grown in the heart of the Feather River Valley in Northern California on the Mooney Family Estate. The Mooney family has long been known for their expertise in crafting premium Mediterranean kitchen staples. It is in this same tradition that the Mooney family introduced their Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil. The olives used to produce this oil are grown in rich and fertile soil which produces a fruity and fragrant Spanish varietal with an excellent flavor and aroma.
Mooney Farms Bella Sun Luci Extra Virgin Olive Oil was also the recent recipient of a Silver Medal at the 2008 Las Vegas Restaurant Show.
Mooney Farms Bella Sun Luci Extra Virgin Olive Oil recently became the Silver Medal Winner at the First Annual California Olive Oil Council 2009 Olive Oil Competition.
