HARVESTING

Handpicking is still the most efficient harvesting

technique: olives are collected in the nets

underneath the olive tree branches and are

taken to the mill as soon as possible (mostly

same day) to keep its natural qualities.

Once olive leaves are sifted out and olives are

cleaned, olive paste is created by crushing the

whole fruit; the paste is then pressed again to

release the oil (this process does not require the

heat, and it's called "Cold Pressing")

As a final step of the whole process, olive oil is packed into glass bottles in order to retain the full

flavor and nutrient value of our olive oil
