I am translating the chef's description of a special menu that has been created for a hotel. Part of the experience refers to the use of "oleos gastronomicos" to achieve colors or textures.
Thanks for your help!!

gourmet oils


Explanation:
Mary:
Without sufficient context, all I can now think of is "gourmet oils". I had to go French sites/document to get a little more help.



For the preparation of Gourmet olive oil, it is important to know when the olive harvest period is. In the northern hemisphere, it is collected between the months of October and January, while in the southern hemisphere it is collected between the months of February and May.

What is the process of making Gourmet olive oil?
In the case of Premium oils, the olive is usually harvested between November and December to obtain a more fruity oil, with a greater number of antioxidants and a lower percentage of natural acidity.

The ***olive used for Gourmet oil is olive flight, not soil***. In the olive harvest, the difference between both methods is very significant. The flying olive is collected directly from the tree, so it does not touch the ground, avoiding remains of stones, sand, dirt, etc ...

If the olive touches the ground, it is possible that with the contact with the stones and the sand, the skin breaks before the oil extraction process, which damages its quality in the long term

"To produce a gourmet olive oil, the exact time of ripeness is the basis of the whole process"

Another fundamental aspect is the tools with which the extraction is done. Methods should be used that do not damage the fruit, "ordeño" being the main technique.

The "ordeño" is about collecting olive from the olive tree manually, detaching it from the branches without the olive touching the surface. It is a process that requires more labor and a null mechanization, but it is also more respectful with the tree and the environment

For much lower quality oil, much more aggressive techniques such as vareo or vibration are used.

The transfer to the oil mill (the mill where it turns the olive into oil) must be done within a period of less than twelve hours after its extraction. The industrial methods involve subjecting the olives to a cleaning process, to eliminate the olive leaves that are then used as animal feed for the area.

This process that damages the properties of the olive, does not occur in the preparation of gourmet olive oil, because having been extracted manually, they do not have leaves that must be removed. Directly the process of crushing the olives is carried out, separating the bone from the resulting mass.

This mass is transferred to the blenders, where it is mixed with cold water, at a temperature of about 20 degrees. That is another key to Gourmet oil. If it is carried out at a higher temperature, more oil is obtained, but of inferior quality.

After the dough is beaten, it passes to the dencanter centrifuge, a machine used to separate the solid from the liquid. That is, the oil and water are separated from the olive and mixed with water at room temperature, with the aim of removing the water and washing the oil.

From here, the process of decanting the oil takes place. The virgin olive oil will remain at rest for a few hours to acquire the ambient temperature and the microparticles of the substance remain in suspension.

The gourmet olive oil needs a natural decantation, that is, the one that occurs over time, without the need to use industrial devices that fulfill this function.

And it goes on...



The best Gourmet olive oil
As you have read before, the best oils are those that are made early harvest. This is the key to selecting one olive oil from another. Here you have a selection of the best gourmet olive oil:

Oleícola Jaén: Oleícola Jaén is one of the highest quality brands in the world of gourmet olive oil. Their olives are cultivated through short and very frequent irrigations, which allow the perfect development of both the tree and the fruit. The transfer of the olive after its extraction is done in less than an hour, which allows the extraction in cold of excellent broths of emerald greens and aromas of freshly cut grass.

Olive Oil (for instance)
Olive oil is inarguably the king of gourmet oils, with production dating back thousands of years. Olive oil is the liquid fat rendered by pressing fresh olives. Extra virgin olive offers the highest quality oil because it comes from the first pressing and is considered free of any defects. Extra virgin olive oil is the only cooking oil that is made without the use of chemicals, heat, or industrial refining. Olives for the best extra virgin oils are picked by hand from a single orchard, milled within hours, and crushed by a simple hydraulic press or centrifuge.

The liquid gold culture has evolved over the years, giving rise to gourmet oils, a product made with the utmost care to make the enjoyment of our palate. In the next blog we will talk about what we mean by gourmet olive oil, the keys to differentiate it and a list with the best variety that you can put on your table
Gourmet olive oil is born with the need for a market in which consumers are increasingly demanding. The olive juice is considered as a basic element of the Mediterranean diet, so an increasingly specialized product is demanded.
In fact, there are more and more gourmets that have an oleoteca in their house where they keep bottles of the best vintages acquired in specialized stores such as olive oil stores.
