Description

Bring authentic Greek quality and thermal stability to your cookware with Minerva Olive Pomace Oil (2 Litres e – Huile de Grignons d’Olive). Rooted in more than 110 years of Hellenic olive-pressing tradition, Minerva formulates this cooking fat from the rich, nutrient-dense pomace extracted from pressed Mediterranean olives, expertly refined and blended with virgin olive oil. The result is an oil with a significantly higher smoke point (up to 238°C) than unrefined extra virgin olive oils, resisting breakdown, smoke, and oxidation under demanding stovetop and oven temperatures. Perfect for caterers and home chefs alike, it yields light, crispy fried textures while infusing everyday Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and European dishes with subtle savory warmth.
