Many commercially available olive oils have a strong bitterness that some people find difficult to eat. HIME-LIA was developed as an olive oil perfect for the everyday dining table that can be enjoyed every day.
The raw ingredients are organically grown olive fruits, carefully cultivated at a contracted farm in Spain. Because the fruit is delicate and easily damaged, it is generally said that the flavor deteriorates if the oil is not extracted within 24 hours of harvest.
To ensure that the fresh flavor of "freshly squeezed" olive oil—when it is at its most delicious—can be enjoyed in Japan, the olives are flash-frozen on-site immediately after harvest in Spain, locking in their freshness and aroma for transport to Japan.By naturally thawing only the required amount of fruit and extracting the oil at our own factory in Ehime Prefecture, we have made it possible to enjoy the deliciousness of freshly squeezed oil all year round while in Japan.
Furthermore, freezing the olives has the effect of suppressing the characteristic bitterness of olives, resulting in a mellow flavor with a hint of sweetness. It has been well-received as easy to eat, even for children and those who typically dislike olive oil.
At HIME-LIA, craftsmen carefully extract the oil while inspecting each olive fruit one by one.This process creates the experience of "eating the aroma." Despite being an oil, it leaves an aftertaste similar to tasting fresh juice.
In particular, for the citrus-flavored types, the peels of Ehime-grown fruits such as Yuzu and Iyokan are pressed together with the olive fruits to infuse the oil with a refreshing scent. A freshness spreads as if you had just peeled a citrus fruit, making you want to take a deep breath.
First, please drizzle it over a salad and enjoy it along with its aroma.It will surely change your image of olive oil.
