Abstract:
Method for freezing olive oil which achieves the sustaining of the polyphenols until the time of its consumption. The method is performed immediately after the collection of the fruit olives from the tree, with the addition of nitrogen, the cold extraction of the oil and the remaining of the oil pulp in water of 27° C. temperature at the softening for 30 minutes. The product is being transferred in stages at storage tanks with nitrogen supply and gradual at stages reduction of the temperature by 5° C. and remaining in each storage tank for 12 hours until its temperature reaches 6-7 degrees, after which it is being packaged and frozen with slow in stages freeze to −18° C. to −23° C. Due to this method the product maintains during the whole internal of freezing the color and aroma and the taste it has during its transformation into oil, organic characteristics that reappear exactly the same after it has been defrosted.
