All these characteristics are obtained thanks to the traditional cold pressing process. Only cold pressed oils are considered `Virgin`. Italy is the most important country in the world when it comes to producing quality extra virgin olive oil. In fact Italy has a series of producers of great importance and prestige that make extra virgin olive oil one of the most appreciated made in Italy products on the table of consumers worldwide.
