Italian to English translations [PRO]
Food & Dairy / olive oil production

Italian term or phrase: riscaldo

I think (from my own varyingly successful experiments with preserving olives) that this refers to the "cooking" process that occurs when, for example, green olives are placed in brine and sealed from day one, without being left to "breathe". This means that the fermentation gases are unable to escape, which makes the olives go soft. Could of course be wrong, and in any case, not sure what the English term is

context:

"Riscaldo : caratteristico dell’olio ottenuto da olive ammassate che hanno sofferto un avanzato grado di fermentazione anaerobica."

Thanks!

Explanation:

says:

The second most common defect of olive oil is called “fusty.” It is caused by fermentation in the absence of oxygen; this occurs within the olives before they are milled. This is why it is so important for olives to be processed into oil within as short a time as possible after harvest. Olives left to sit in bags or piles for
even a few days will produce fusty olive oil.
