Dazhou Olive Oil

Dazhou olive oil is a vegetable oil that is extracted from fresh olive trees and squeezed at room temperature. It is also the only vegetable oil in the world that has been cold-pressed with fresh fruit.

It is understood that the main chemical components of olive oil are fatty acids, glycerides and non-glycerides. Glycerol is mainly composed of saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acids have a strong health-care function. The unsaponifiable content of non-glycerides in olive oil is very low, so the body's absorption of olive oil is very high, similar to human milk. Because olive oil has many functions in nutrition and health care, it has been praised by Western nutritionists as “Friends of Human Health” and “Queen of Vegetable Oil”. Britain, the United States and other countries have included olive oil in the Pharmacopoeia. Origin of the environment In 1974, Dazhou City introduced and planted olive oil in Kaijiang and Daxian. As of 2009, more than 80,000 mu of olive planting bases have been built, and the output of fresh fruit has reached the first place in Sichuan Province. Because of the soil, water quality, air, sunshine and other conditions suitable for the growth of olive oil in Kaijiang and other places, especially the soil containing more calcium than the original place (Mediterranean), the olive fruit is rich in oil and special in quality, reaching the EU standard. The olive fruit wine and “Mansani” cosmetics series developed by the county have been listed one after another, and the olive oil industry chain has been further extended. Industrial Development Dazhou City is located in the eastern part of Sichuan. In 1974, it planted olive oil in Kaijiang and Daxian. It now holds 83 varieties and more than 2,000 acres of forest resources. During the "10th Five-Year Plan" period to 2020, the development of the olive industry in Dazhou City is guided by the scientific concept of development. In accordance with the principle of "scientific, appropriate, and distinctive" development, we will strengthen organizational leadership, strengthen guidance services, and do a good job in breeding and breeding excellent and abundant products. Choose suitable site conditions, drive by leading enterprises, increase product development, rely on science and technology and innovation, transform economic growth mode, focus on improving scale efficiency, lead China's olive oil to develop continuously, quickly and efficiently, and enlarge and strengthen the olive industry. It provides strong support for the economic development of Dazhou City and the construction of new countryside. During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, 65,000 mu of new olive planting bases will be built in Kaijiang and Daxian, relying on Sichuan Tianyuan Oil Olive Co., Ltd. to build a modern integrated processing plant for olive products. From 2010 to 2020, in Kaijiang, Newly developed olive oil 170,000 mu in Daxian, Dazhu, Quxian, Xuanhan and Wanyuan. By 2020, we will strive to reach 300,000 mu of olive oil bases in the city, and the total production value of olive oil industry will reach 2 billion yuan. Honor Certification In January 2006, the olive oil of Dazhou City was judged by the expert group in Beijing and was praised as the “China Olive Oil Capital” by the China Food Industry Association. In May 2009, the trademark “Dazhou Olive Oil” was successfully registered in the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce.

The altitude of the protected area is ≤800 meters, mainly purple-brown red soil, the soil pH is 6.3 to 7.5, and the minerals in the soil are rich in nutrients. (3) Cultivation management. 1. Breeding of seedlings: seedlings are planted by hotbed cutting, and the cuttings are selected from hard-edged cuttings and cuttings of twigs, with hard-edged cuttings. 2. Colonization: cuttings are carried out from November to December each year, and transplanting (nutrition) is carried out from March to April of the following year. In the next year, from January to February, mountain planting is carried out, and 40 plants per acre are planted. 3. Fertilization: in the germination period from March to April; the hardening period of the fruit from July to August; the fertilization after fruit collection in November should be based on organic fertilizer, pig, sheep and sheep fat, straw, and cake fertilizer. 4. Plastic pruning: winter pruning (sleeping pruning) and summer pruning (growing pruning), mainly through smearing, topping, tipping, bending and opening angles, etc., to remove clusters and overly dense branches. 5. Environmental and safety requirements: The use of pesticides, fertilizers, etc. must comply with relevant national regulations and must not pollute the environment. (4) Harvesting. Manual picking is carried out from October to November every year, and harvesting is carried out according to the principle of first ripening first, not cooked first. (5) Raw material requirements. For the processed fruit, the pulp should be thick, the core should be small, the meat core should be separated, the appearance should be beautiful and well-proportioned, no damage, lesions, insect eyes, etc. The fruit weight is 3 to 4 grams, and the fruit transverse diameter is not less than 10 mm.
