The relationship between the quality of an extra virgin oil and
that of the environment in which it is produced is a close one.
That’s why we adopt all the techniques of organic farming:
- we protect the trees with a barrier of hedges, providing an
ideal environment for the insects that help to combat the enemies
of the tree and its fruit
- we work the soil at the surface and enrich it only with organic
products
- we prune the trees lightly, for better exposure to the sun
and to give air to the foliage
- we monitor our olives closely from blossoming to maturation,
to assist every vegetative need
- we hand-pick in order not to damage the fruit
- we limit the time between picking and pressing to a matter
of hours to keep our olives intact
- we wash the olives in clean, fresh water and cold-press them
- we protect our extra virgin oil from oxygen and light in order
to keep its delicate food properties unchanged until the product
reaches the consumer’s table.
