BASSO OLIVE OIL

About Basso Olive Oil

Since 1904, Basso Olive Oil has practiced a passion that has been carried out with loyalty and dedication for five generations. Every drop of our oil contains Felice Basso’s tale. Felice Basso ascended the slopes of Salerno in 1904 to deliver freshly grown olives to Serino, Irpinia, where he met his life partner.

We tell the tale of Fedele Basso, who created Basso Fedele e Figli with exceptional perseverance and humanity in every drop of Basso Olive Oils. Along with his wife, he devoted his entire life to this. Likewise, you can find the tale of Sabino Basso in every drop of our oil. He has transformed a small family-run firm into a company that exports to more than 80 nations worldwide with resourcefulness.

The tale of Fabrizio and Federico Basso, who mix innovation and tradition with appreciation and sincerity, is embedded in every drop of our oil. Likewise, each of us has a tale contained within each drop of our oil. The influential Basso family has always been there for us, tying us together. But, on the other hand, working together creates a synergy that reaches beyond ordinary collaboration. So many faces and names have intertwined with constructing the pages of our history year after year, including Luigi, Gianni, Filippo, Raffaele, and Corrado. We continue to share ideas and goals in our daily lives. Even if their work together is finished, they may rejoin with dedications and stories to tell.

Goodness. In every way, your table is of the finest caliber. It appeals to us since it has various connotations, including tasty and high-quality. And we work hard to ensure that both are met. Only the highest quality olives, olive fields, and Italian regions are used to ensure the finest quality. The unique character of the oil depends on the land where it is cultivated – authentic, delicate, or decisive, arriving quickly in the mouth or patiently waiting to be consumed.

Our commitment to high-quality extends throughout the entire process. The oil must be healthy, clean, and work with the highest level of precision to guarantee customer satisfaction. We combine the effectiveness of cutting-edge technology with the power of tradition to accomplish this.

100% extra virgin oil is unfiltered, single, and organic. A variety of extra virgin olive oils are obtained from various selected compositions. A balanced blend of 100% Italian or European oils of excellent quality. Pure organic farming produces a pure-tasting product—the refined taste of fruit juice from a single type of collection. For the highest quality, we trust our suppliers and our team. However, it can cause errors not visible to the naked eye. Therefore, it relies on our lab testing. From chopping olives to bottling oil, every detail is not underestimated.

• Authenticity: Careful analysis of the color of the oil can determine if the oil has been treated correctly or if the oil has deteriorated prematurely. Rancid risk management: Based on the power of peroxides that cause oil aging, you can be confident in determining the shelf life of your product. Preservation Management: Only fully preserved oils guarantee the quality you provide to your customers. And we are convinced of this through tests that assess the oxidation state.
• Temperature: Of course, the wax does not melt on the olives and mixes with the oil at high processing temperatures. Therefore, its presence indicates whether the temperature is correct. Mixture: Guarantees that there is no accidental contamination between products. It helps us control different amounts and types of fatty acids in other oils. Fermentation control: The presence of mold determines the alarm state of oil quality. By using substances that are harmless to the human body, we can identify them and judge the quality of raw materials.
• Acid Control: The oil’s acidity is imperceptible except for special tests. The high acidity of the oil can be attributed to the olive fruit fly changing its ripeness. The correct acidity of our oil is kept constant. If refined oil degrades the purity of extra virgin oil, then you know it contains substances that shouldn’t be in the oil. And that’s not what we want.

How is a unique oil born? We choose the finest for you.

We choose our olives from all over Italy, but it’s here, in Irpinia, that they are transformed and distributed all over the world. Our suppliers are traditional ones we know we can rely on. To choose the highest quality olive groves, we speak with them and choose the best they offer.

They are entrusted with a collection that is highly precise and almost scientific. The right degree of ripeness is reached when the olives have a light color in the pulp and are partially colored on the surface. We select these olives because they are the best.

As soon as they are harvested, their health is checked before being transported to the oil mill for processing. Then they are transported to you. First, all the leaves are removed, then the olives are washed and crushed into a paste. Last but not least, it is mixed under a controlled temperature with special blades that allow the release of tiny drops of oil through the breaking of vacuoles. As a result, a surface film forms spontaneously.

The oil is obtained from the paste and the vegetative water using a centrifuge technique that produces extra virgin olive oil on one side and pomace, or the solid part of the paste, on the other side, from which olive pomace oil will be recovered later.

Our experts analyze the extra virgin olive oil obtained this way right away to ensure its purity. And only the finest olives can provide the most delectable oil. Please be mindful of the environment and how we work. Throughout the manufacturing process, energy is conserved, lessening the environmental impact. Only traceable origins: We know where all of our olives originate. And so will our customers.

We believe that a little extra caution never hurts, therefore we regularly evaluate processes to guarantee that they are of the highest quality. Only certified standards are accepted. Each work phase is carefully monitored to ensure that the desired quality requirements are met. Only use reputable vendors. We only hire those that are the greatest at what they do. A dependable promise. From our experience, a variety of high-quality olives. We’ve figured out how to spot the highest-quality olives.
