OUR STORY — THE METHOD
From tree to mill in under 24 hours.
01
Hand picking
No machines, no mechanical shakers: the olives are picked by hand, to protect the fruit and the branches that will bear the next crop.
02
Sorting
The same day, leaves and damaged fruit are removed by hand before the olives leave for the mill.
03
The mill, within 24 hours
Less than 24 hours between tree and mill. Each range has its own mill, and neither goes above 27 °C.
04
Kept from air and light
Straight from the mill, the oil is filled into bottles or bags and protected from air and light until you open it.
Two mills, two legal statements
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2104 reserves “first cold pressing” for oils obtained below 27 °C by a first mechanical pressing, using a traditional press system; “cold extraction” covers oils obtained below 27 °C by percolation or centrifugation. So the difference between our two ranges is not a marketing line: it is written into law.
