Certifications: Organic forever, our oil has been certified organic since the label was established in Italy in the early ’90s.
Cultivation: All of our trees are still cared for by hand. Trees are trimmed, fertilized (with organic matter), cleaned, and nurtured manually.
Harvesting: Our olives are harvested by hand starting in early October.
Pressing: Olives are pressed only once and within eight hours of harvesting at state-of-the-art facilities. The entire pressing process is performed at cold temperatures by only mechanical means. No chemicals are used in our oil extraction process.
Filtration: Our oil is filtered immediately upon arrival to our olive oil cellar after being pressed at the mill. This avoids fermentation that can occur if sediments remain in the oil.
Storage: All of our oil is stored in our on-site olive oil cellar in 500L – 1000L tanks until an order is placed. The tanks are stored away from sunlight exposure and are at a constant temperature of 18°C year long. In the tanks, the oil is always kept under a layer of argon gas (a food safe and odorless gas) to prevent oxidation.
Bottling: We bottle on demand to keep oil at its peak condition. All bottles are topped with argon gas to preserve freshness.
Packaging: Container is a light weight, stainless steel can. Weight: 5.005 kg / Size: 14.8 cm (L) x 12 cm (W) x 31.5 cm (H)
Shipping Materials: The shipping materials are of sustainable origin and are easily recyclable (cardboard, paper adhesive tape, compostable corn starch chips).
