Extra virgin olive oil is the most used condiment in the Mediterranean diet. Clinical and epidemiological studies highlight its organoleptic and nutritional qualities, which make it by far the most suitable for human consumption of all the widely consumed dietary fats. The reason is simple: extra virgin olive oil is the only oil to be produced only by pressing the olives, without the help of chemical solvents.

A "juice" that transfers all the precious substances contained in the olives to the oil, with proven beneficial effects on human health.

The olive harvest is the most awaited moment of the year, a point of arrival and a new beginning. The period goes from 15 September to 19 October. It is carried out rigorously by hand, to preserve the fruit and not compromise its integrity. The olives are placed in perforated boxes suitable for keeping them airy. The milling is carried out within 6 hours of harvesting and with continuous cold cycle extraction (two phases). As soon as it is extracted, it is stored in silos under nitrogen in a thermo-conditioned environment.
