AOVE Dominus Acebuche
Dominus Acebuche, made from fruits hand-picked from the wild wild olive trees that grow at an altitude of 600m on the slopes of the Cortijo Virgen de los Milagros hills, surrounded by a protected forest, perfectly acclimatised to the mountainous environment. Harvesting is necessarily manual, followed by the immediate cold extraction of the wild olive trees with a very high content of natural antioxidants.
Tasting profile
Deep nose with intense green aromas, with balanced bitterness and spiciness, with a fresh and long aftertaste remaining in the memory.
The wild olive tree and wild olive oil
The wild olive tree (Olea europea var. sylvestris), the ancestor of the olive tree, has been found in the Sierra Mágina Natural Park since the end of the last glaciation, at a considerable height above sea level, in an environment of Meso-Mediterranean climate, with temperatures of 40°C in summer and below 0°C in winter.
These factors create a greater response in the wild olive trees in the form of bioactive components of the fruit (antioxidant content, tocopherols and polyphenols, and vitamins A, D, E and K).
Properties of wild olive oil
It has medicinal, nutritional, metabolic and dermatological properties:
- Palmitoleic acid: reduction of obesity
Monounsaturated fatty acid that helps control weight (Department of Biochemistry at the University of Oxford) - Sitostanol: improves cardiovascular health
Plant phytosterol, helps reduce LDL cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol - Alpha tocopherol: reduces cellular aging
Natural antioxidant (vitamin E), protects the fatty acids in our cell membranes from the effects of oxidation by neutralizing free radicals. - Oleocanthal: Natural anti-inflammatory
Present in wild olive oil and extra virgin olive oil (spiciness or bitterness in its flavor), beneficial against cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, and joint wear. It is also capable of eliminating cancer cells (in vitro tests).
