Acidity, measurable only by chemical analysis, is a fundamental indicator of product quality, as well as defining its product classification according to European legislation (extra virgin, virgin, lampante). <strong>An olive oil is classified as extra virgin when acidity in oleic acid is less than or equal to 0.80%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><strong>PEROXIDES<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>2024: 5,4 meqO2\/kg<\/strong><\/div>\n<p>The value of peroxides in an olive oil attests to its degree of primary oxidation and hence its tendency to become rancid.

Polyphenols protect the oil from the oxidation process and also play a powerful antioxidant action on human body. The higher the concentration of polyphenols, the better are the organoleptic qualities of an extra virgin olive oil, the greater its ability to last over time and the positive effects on human health. <strong>The quality and the duration of an extra virgin olive oil are defined VERY HIGH if the value of polyphenols is greater than 200 mg \/ kg<\/strong>.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #808000;\"><a style=\"color: #808000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oliomerlini.it\/shop\/\">Buy our extra virgin olive oil now!<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliomerlini.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Olio-extravergine-oliva-toscano-Merlini.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2765 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oliomerlini.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Olio-extravergine-oliva-toscano-Merlini-266x300.jpg\" alt=\"Olio Merlini nuovo raccolto\" width=\"266\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oliomerlini.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Olio-extravergine-oliva-toscano-Merlini-266x300.jpg 266w, https:\/\/www.oliomerlini.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Olio-extravergine-oliva-toscano-Merlini-600x676.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.oliomerlini.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Olio-extravergine-oliva-toscano-Merlini-768x865.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.oliomerlini.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Olio-extravergine-oliva-toscano-Merlini-909x1024.jpg 909w, https:\/\/www.oliomerlini.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Olio-extravergine-oliva-toscano-Merlini-580x653.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.oliomerlini.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Olio-extravergine-oliva-toscano-Merlini-820x924.jpg 820w, https:\/\/www.oliomerlini.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Olio-extravergine-oliva-toscano-Merlini-1160x1307.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/www.oliomerlini.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Olio-extravergine-oliva-toscano-Merlini.jpg 1836w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 266px) 100vw, 266px\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4787,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4846","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oliomerlini.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4846","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oliomerlini.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oliomerlini.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oliomerlini.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oliomerlini.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4846"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/www.oliomerlini.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4846\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5343,"href":"https:\/\/www.oliomerlini.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4846\/revisions\/5343"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oliomerlini.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4787"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oliomerlini.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
