The rest of the products are collected from local small farmers, in all, count almost million olive trees.
Ready for production
All our ripe olives are picked by hand. The harvest starts in October and continues to mid February depending on the right maturity. All collected olives are carefully sorted, water washed and start being pressed on the same day of collection.
Ready for refill
Oil extraction is always done by exclusively cold mechanical action with a strong consideration to the temperature control guidelines to obtain the cold pressed extra virgin olive oil with its authentic taste...
