Quality and technology
Since 2017 the machines have been renewed by adopting the most modern technology. The new machines allow to work continuously and quickly, in order to avoid oxidation of the final product. The plant is completely in stainless steel and equipped with computerized automation.
In the olive processing process, the plant washes and sanitizes in complete autonomy.
From 2021 a further evolution has been added. During processing It is possible to decide whether to produce a medium or light fruity oil . All this takes place at a controlled temperature of 27 degrees. This peculiarity allows to produce a wider range of extra virgin, able to satisfy the tastes of various palates.
Superior quality oil
The mission of Oleificio Ponterosso is to produce extra virgin olive oil of the highest quality, rather than a lot of low quality oil.
The highest quality Italian extra virgin olive oil is composed for about three quarters of oleic acid. In addition it is well known as a relevant source of vitamins and in particular of Vitamin E.
An extra virgin of the highest quality such as Ponterosso oil is rich in polyphenols. These are powerful antioxidants naturally contained in olives. Only an oil mill equipped with cutting-edge technologies is able to extract as many as possible from the olives, obtaining an oil that is truly a source of well-being and health.
These are the reasons why we can speak of our oil as an authentic food that nourishes, prevents and heals.
Health and well-being start from the table.
Quality extra virgin olive
harvested by hand
The olive harvest , in the months of October, November and December, is carried out entirely by 'stripping' by hand, preserving the olive from trauma caused by the fall on the ground, thus remaining intact.
The olives are stored in perforated plastic crates, which allow better ventilation thus avoiding the formation of mold. To obtain a high quality oil, the olives are processed within 12/24 hours of harvesting.
The olives arrived in the mill, before being sent for processing , are carefully cleaned by a special machine from foreign bodies, such as earth, dust, leaves and twigs.
The extraction includes the washing of the olives, the hammering, the kneading and the pressing .
The oil mill of Oleificio Ponterosso works at a controlled temperature of 27 ° , in a continuous cycle, without interruptions between one phase and another, thus optimizing the times for the benefit of the final quality of the oil obtained.
