We harvest the olives by hand starting from the early days of October. This early harvest is a deliberate choice, sacrificing yield to enhance the organoleptic qualities of each cultivar. The process involves two stages. The olives are gently washed with water and then proceed to crushing. The olives are crushed in a hammer mill, reducing them to a paste. The pits are carefully separated from the pulp. Following crushing and malaxation, the olive paste moves to the decanter, which separates the pure oil from the wet pomace. After decantation, the oil is ready and does not require centrifugation.
Thanks to this high-tech production cycle, we obtain superior quality oils that go directly to the market.
Green colour with lime yellow hints. On the nose, perfectly combined, are aromas of basil, green citrus and bergamot. A slight hint of the sea accompanies the taste. The lack of oil from the stone renders it delicate, almost sweet, but definite. Extraction of the oil without stones provides us with the essence of the aromas and unmistakable characteristics of this variety. Perfect with light, steamed food, cruditè, soups and salads above all.
