Our Olive Groves & Harvest Tradition
- Varieties: Frantoio, Leccino, and Moraiolo olives provide a balance of fruitiness, peppery finish, and complexity.
- Soil & Microclimate: Rich, well-draining soils with full sun exposure give olives their signature aromatic intensity.
- Organic Practices: Hand-tended trees, no synthetic fertilizers, and sustainable irrigation ensure healthy growth and exceptional quality.
- Harvesting: Olives are hand-picked or gently shaken to prevent bruising, then cold-pressed within hours to preserve delicate flavors.
This meticulous attention guarantees an olive oil that is fresh, vibrant, and nutritionally rich—a true expression of the estate’s terroir.
The Cold-Pressing Process
Immediate Pressing
Olives are crushed and cold-pressed within hours of harvest to retain freshness and antioxidants.
Temperature Control
Pressing is done below 27°C to preserve aroma, taste, and polyphenols.
Separation & Bottling
Oil is naturally separated from water and sediment, filtered minimally, and bottled in UV-protective glass.
Result: A smooth, peppery, and slightly fruity oil that enhances dishes without overpowering them.
