The extra virgin olive oil process

Follow all the stages of preparation.

The harvest and the olive warehouse

The finest olives are collected straight from the olive grove and carefully transported to the olive warehouse, where they are processed within 24-48 hours, to guarantee freshness and quality. Beforehand, each batch of olives is subjected to a further check, to ensure the highest quality standards.

1. Start of the process

From the warehouse, the olives are transferred to the mill, where the process to turn them into extra virgin olive oil begins, carefully following a method that preserves their quality and genuine flavor.

2. Washing

The olives are washed thoroughly with water to remove all impurities and traces of earth or dust. This essential step guarantees a hygienic process and preserves the quality of the oil.

3. Milling

The olives are crushed with large millstones, which turn them into a smooth paste. This traditional method, combined with the use of a mechanical press, makes it possible to obtain a paste with the ideal consistency, ready for the subsequent oil extraction stages.

4. Malaxing

The paste obtained from the milling process is gently mixed, stirring constantly. This process, known as malaxing, aids the natural separation of the drops of oil, in preparation for extraction
