In order to prevent oxidation and obtain a better quality oil, the olives are taken to the oil-mill for the cold pressing by 2 hours from the harvest.
The oil, fresh of pressing with its marvellous fruity aroma and rich of antioxidant properties, is first filtered and then preserved in stainless steel containers at a controlled temperature, where it maintains at the best its organoleptic features. The colour is expressed green with golden tinges, with an intense and persistent taste.
