The Olive Grove

Our harvesting method is fully mechanized. The olives go directly from the tree to the mill, without touching the ground, without bruising, and at the right ripeness.

Production Process

Reception

Olives are washed with sprayed water to remove dust and mud, weighed, and transferred to the hoppers.

Grinding

Using a stainless steel hammer mill, the olives are crushed and beaten at a temperature below 27°C.

Storage

The oil is filtered and stored in stainless steel tanks at 18-20°C under a nitrogen atmosphere.

Our Mill

We only produce oil from healthy olives, freshly picked from the tree, with a cold extraction process (<27°C) carried out in less than 12 hours from harvest.
