Di Simone Olive Oil We are proud to have launched, at the Taste of London Festival in Regents Park (Jun 2013), for the first time in the UK, Di Simone Extra Virgin Olive Oil an oil of superb quality produced exclusively in Italy. It has been supplied to reputable restaurants and gourmet shops in the Abruzzo Region and Northern Italy and hitherto this superior brand of extra virgin olive oil has not been available in the UK. For over 50 years the Di Simone family has been producing Extra Virgin Olive Oil at the family's original olive mill, or frantoio, in Loreto Aprutino, in the heart of the D.O.P zone of Aprutino-Pescarese in Pescara Province of Abruzzo Region, Italy. A blend of only two varieties of olives, the Dritta (60%) and Leccino (40%) olives, the Dritta being unique to the Abruzzo region and notable for its low acidity, gives this Oil its yellow-green colour and a superbly balanced flavour. One of the characteristics of good quality extra virgin olive oil is low acidity, as denoted by oleic acid levels not exceeding 0.6 grams per 100 grams. Di Simone oil has an oleic acid level of less than 0.5 grams per 100grams. Extra virgin olive oil naturally contains no protein, carbohydrates, sodium or cholesterol and is high in Vitamin E.
