JORDAN OLIVE OIL – BAMBATSA EXTRA WILD OLIVE OIL FROM GREECE
In terms of taste it is noticeably more robust and slightly more bitter than the mild and balanced Jordan Olive Oil. Although it is so wild, it is still suitable as an all-rounder for all applications in the kitchen. But of course also for pure enjoyment and dipping.
Extracted directly from olives using only mechanical processes. First centrifugation of the olive paste at a maximum of 27° C. Olive varieties: Kolovi & Adramtiani.
The name Bambatsa not only characterizes the dark, bulbous bottle of the olive oil, it also refers to the Greek mountain slopes where the olive groves and the Jordan family home are located. Starting from this place in the south of the island of Lesbos, olive grower Jordan developed this extra wild olive oil at the request of Michelin-star chef Thomas Imbusch.
The olives for Jordan Olive Oil come exclusively from our own cultivation and from families in the mountainous region of the island of Lesbos. They are hand-harvested and processed naturally. Possible cloudiness and occasional sediment are characteristics of natural and high-quality processing. This ensures that the valuable lipid accompanying substances and, last but not least, the fine fruity flavor are preserved in the olive oil.
The philosophy: To produce one of the best olive oils ever at a fair price. The high quality standard is confirmed by satisfied customers. These now also include many of the best chefs in Germany and France.
The olive trees are not irrigated even during the dry season.
No chemicals or similar insecticides are used. Against the fruit fly (Tacos), only attractants are hung in the olive trees. The soil is enriched only with natural fertilizer, and the rest is managed by the sun and nature.
The olives are harvested exclusively by hand and immediately processed without further storage.
The fatty acid content, for example from the 2011/12 harvest, was 0.14%! Since October 2002, a new EU regulation has been in place, reorganizing the quality categories. According to this regulation, olive oil may only be labeled as "extra virgin olive oil" if the fatty acid content is between 0.1 - 0.8%. The fatty acid content indicates quality. The lower, the better. Jordan Olive Oil is always below 0.5%.
Premium quality across generations - the Jordan olive groves on the Greek island of Lesbos have been cultivated for three generations. In the late 1980s, Bastian Jordan’s grandparents emigrated to the island and built their house in the middle of the olive grove. From the beginning until today, the family’s philosophy has remained the same. Today, Bastian Jordan runs the business in the third generation, and the fourth is already climbing the trees.
Extraction of Jordan Olive Oil naturally without filtration - we filter our olive oil only with a fine metal sieve. Subsequent storage takes place in large steel tanks, where remaining suspended particles (tiny residual pieces of olive flesh and skin) slowly settle at the bottom. This "settling process" is equivalent to natural filtration. We extract our oil by centrifugation under exclusion of air. In the oil mill, any remaining leaves overlooked during hand sorting in the olive grove are first vacuumed. Then a machine washes and crushes the olives.
The sheep and goats in the Jordan olive groves - as an alternative, sheep and goats graze in the Jordan olive groves, providing natural fertilization. Incidentally, the animals also clear the land of plants that would later make laying nets during the olive harvest more difficult. Since these plants are herbs and spices, the animals’ milk becomes very delicate. Not least for this reason, the feta from Lesbos is considered among the best.
Packaging - the elegantly shaped tin fits perfectly in any kitchen cabinet. It is considered the best and safest packaging for olive oil. The olive oil is 100% protected from light, making this currently the most sustainable packaging option for olive oil. The tin features a screw cap.
