Почему кипрское оливковое масло — в числе лучших

Кипрские каменистые холмы под ярким средиземноморским солнцем – очень благоприятное место для оливковых деревьев. Возраст многих из них насчитывает десятки или даже сотни лет. Эти деревья дают острову одно из самых ценных благ — оливковое масло.

Производство оливкового масла на Кипре имеет историю, уходящую более чем на четыре тысячи лет назад. Археологические находки свидетельствуют, что еще в бронзовом веке киприоты умели выжимать масло и использовали его не только в пищу, но и в ритуальных целях, для освещения и ухода за телом. Эта традиция не прерывалась никогда. До наших дней сохранились старинные оливковые прессы. Во многих деревнях их бережно сохранили и поместили в музей (или построили музей вокруг них, так как прессы довольно громоздки), и теперь их может посмотреть каждый.

Современные кипрские производители сочетают старинные методы сбора и переработки плодов с новейшими технологиями. Оливки собирают вручную или с минимальным механическим воздействием, чтобы не повредить нежную кожицу плодов. Затем их быстро доставляют на прессовальню – от скорости переработки зависит вкус и качество.

Секрет кипрского масла кроется в уникальном сочетании климата и почвы. Остров получает более 300 солнечных дней в году, что обеспечивает оптимальное созревание для оливок. Засушливое лето и мягкая зима создают стрессовые, но благоприятные условия для деревьев: плоды растут небольшими, но насыщенными по вкусу и питательным веществам. В результате масло получается густым и ароматным. Почвы Кипра – известняковые, они богаты минералами, что тоже влияет на вкус.

Масло обычно имеет фруктовый оттенок с легкой горчинкой и перечным послевкусием – характерный признак высокого содержания полифенолов, природных антиоксидантов, полезных для сердца и сосудов.

Большинство кипрских производителей выпускают extra virgin olive oil – масло первого холодного отжима, полученное без химической обработки. Оно содержит минимальное количество кислот (обычно менее 0,3%) и сохраняет все натуральные ароматы и витамины. На Кипре тщательно следят за качеством: многие фермеры сертифицируются по европейским органическим стандартам, избегая пестицидов и удобрений.

Благодаря тому, что Кипр – сравнительно небольшой остров, путь от дерева до бутылки здесь короткий. Это позволяет минимизировать время между сбором урожая и розливом, что особенно важно для сохранения свежести и питательной ценности масла.

Кипрское оливковое масло занимает центральное место в местной кухне. Его добавляют практически в каждое блюдо – от салатов до выпечки. Оно не перебивает вкус еды, а подчеркивает ее естественные ароматы. Кулинары отмечают его мягкий баланс между фруктовостью и пряностью – вкус, в котором ощущается сам характер острова.

Кипрское оливковое масло – это не просто продукт питания. Это результат тысячелетней традиции, щедрости природы и бережного труда людей. Именно поэтому оно по праву считается одним из лучших в Средиземноморье.

На острове множество небольших частных оливковых прессовален. Необязательно быть крупным фермером, чтобы сотрудничать с ними. Подходящую вам прессовальню легко найти в интернете (для поиска лучше использовать греческое слово ελαιοτριβείο). Так что если на вашем участке растут оливковые деревья, то вы смело можете начать делать собственное масло из их плодов.
