IOC Assessment

The classification of olive oil is prescribed by International Olive Council (IOC/COI).

Takao Nouen no Olive Hatake was recognized a way of international standardsof extra virgin olive oil by International Olive Council every year 2010.

Extra virgin olive oil is not a scientific means to extract with solvent, it is obtained by mechanical physical mean after washing, crushing, stirring, extraction, centrifugation, squeezing and filtration of the olive fruit.
And the highest peak (highest quality) “extra virgin olive oil” certification can be obtained among them, only those satisfying the criteria by “sen sory test (panel test)” and “physicochemical test.
Takao farm think that “Making Olive Oil” is important fallowed by International Olive Council (IOC/COI).
I sent olive oil to an Italian official laboratory every year, and it is certified to be an international standard extra virgin olive oil.
