The transformation of the olives into oil, a fundamental and decisive phase, is carried out daily just a few hours after harvesting so that mold, oxidation and fermentation processes
degenerative, such as to nullify the work carried out in the field and to avoid the presence of unwanted flavors and odors, indicators of a “defective” oil. The system used is a modern continuous cycle crusher where all operations take place in automatic machines, made entirely of stainless steel.

It is important to protect the oil from light and temperature changes. Our oil is stored exclusively in tanks made of stainless steel, stored in naturally temperature-controlled environments.
The oil, before being packaged, undergoes a natural decantation, useful for the first purification of production residues e
subsequently it is filtered, assuming its limpid aspect of green color with golden yellow reflections.
