What is a "virgin" oil?
What is a "virgin" oil?
The term "Virgin Oil" is strictly regulated. It refers to oils obtained solely by mechanical processes, clarified only by physical means, and that have not undergone any chemical treatment or refining operation.
Simply put, the fruit or seed is crushed, and the resulting oil is decanted, then possibly filtered. Through this method of extraction, the oils retain their tastes and smells because they do not undergo any refining or deodorization steps.
What is the difference between a 1, 2, 3 or 4-leaf balsamic vinegar?
What is the difference between a 1, 2, 3 or 4-leaf balsamic vinegar?
Leaves are a new quality indicator for Balsamic Vinegar of Modena. While Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, reserved for special occasions, is identified by its age (12 and 25 years), legislation does not permit mentioning age for the vinegar we consume regularly, as it is possible to blend from one barrel to another to maintain consistency in the product.
The leaf symbol, represented by vine leaves, was therefore created to indicate the maturation level of the vinegar: 1 leaf corresponds to a young vinegar, 4 leaves correspond to an aged vinegar.
The more aged the vinegar, the sweeter and less acidic it is.
What is the difference between tapenade and olive paste?
What is the difference between tapenade and olive paste?
It is the recipe and ingredients that distinguish a tapenade from an olive paste. They are simply not the same product.
Tapenade corresponds to a strict and controlled recipe: at least 70% olives (green or black, for green tapenade and black tapenade respectively), finely crushed with capers (more than 3% of the final composition) and anchovies (a minimum of 0.5%), and finally, olive oil is mandatory.
An olive paste is a culinary preparation made from olives that is freed from the strict tapenade recipe. It therefore highlights the taste of the olive, as it can be composed almost exclusively of it.

How long can hazelnut oil be kept after opening?

Our hazelnut oil can be kept for about a year after opening, which is the case for all our oils, as the nuts are analyzed before being pressed. Unhealthy nuts that could trigger an oil degradation process are therefore eliminated.

- The AOC and Organic designations are independent:
- The AOC designation is obtained if the production specifications defined by the regional designation body are met: geographical cultivation area, olive variety, cultivation method, harvesting method, etc.

Can you substitute peanuts with a little peanut oil in a recipe?
Can you substitute peanuts with a little peanut oil in a recipe?
Of course! Mille et une huile peanut oil is a virgin oil obtained through mechanical processes. Lightly roasted, the peanuts yield an oil that retains all the fruit's aroma and nutritional qualities. A drizzle of oil on a salad or a hot dish is enough to bring out the taste of peanuts. This applies to the entire range of "Nut and Seed Oils."
