Cover Story: Organic olive oil (OEVOO) producers are concerned with the best production conditions to obtain high-quality oils. This study aimed to determine whether washing and harvesting time influence the OEVOO’s quality. A total of 28 OEVOOs from fruits harvested at three maturity stages, twice a day (morning and afternoon) and with two treatments (washed/unwashed), were analyzed. Fruit washing did not influence physicochemical, sensory or volatile profiles, whereas harvesting time influenced them, with significantly higher values for hydrocarbons, aldehydes and lactones volatile families, and for green and apple fruity attributes in oils from fruits harvested in the morning. This study will help the olive sector to make decisions on the most appropriate harvesting time and fruit washing to obtain the highest-quality OEVOOs. View this paper
