Production
1.Harvest
We harvest the olives before they are fully ripe. By hand from the centuries-old olive groves, with a modern harvesting machine from the rows. We select them through a visual inspection to verify the state of ripeness. Then we pass them through a leaf removing machine which eliminates all foreign bodies.
2.Crushing
We wash the olives and send them to a refrigerated hammer crusher within 12 hours after harvesting. This is the first step in the production of our Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
3.Malaxation
The resulting paste passes into the cooling system and then to the malaxer. Through the decanter, we squeeze the paste to obtain a raw oil. We send the pomace (solid waste paste) to a machine that separates the pits from the liquid part. We pass the raw oil to the centrifugal separator.
4.Conservation
After the tasting, we send the extracted oil to the filtering. Then, we store it in special stainless steel tanks with inert gas, suitable for conservation.
5. Bottling
We filter and bottle the oil through a semiautomatic bottling machine. The bottles, corked and labeled, are kept at a controlled temperature.
