Our olive oil is an early harvest extra virgin olive oil, the result of a meticulous and demanding production process that combines rich tradition with modern, ecological farming practices. The healthy fruit, harvested daily in early October, is placed in perforated crates and transported to the nearby olive mill every afternoon.

There, it is carefully processed in a clean, modern two-phase olive mill and then transferred to our controlled-temperature storage area, where it is kept in stainless steel tanks with added nitrogen to prevent any alteration.

We place great emphasis on several “details,” such as: During a typical harvest day, the harvested fruit is placed in perforated crates and kept in the shade under the trees to avoid sun exposure until it is loaded for transport to the nearby olive mill.

This way, the fruit undergoes minimal deterioration until it is crushed. Additionally, kneading times (30 minutes, depending on fruit ripeness) are strictly followed, and the temperature remains at 27 degrees Celsius throughout the production process at the mill.

The extra virgin olive oil is characterized by its exceptional quality, low acidity, and fruity, spicy taste, making it ideal for any gastronomic creation. Its rich flavor, freshness, and unique texture make it a valuable part of daily nutrition, whether as a salad dressing or as a key ingredient in cooking. It is also the perfect base for healthy cooking and the promotion of the Mediterranean diet, renowned for its health and wellness benefits.

Since 2013, and every year to this day, our olive oil contains bio/polyphenols in quantities exceeding the threshold set by the European Food Safety Authority’s health regulation 432/2012.

Health Claim: “The polyphenols in olive oil contribute to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress as part of a varied and balanced diet.”

The beneficial effect is achieved with a daily intake of 20 g of olive oil.

The claim can only be used for olive oil that contains at least 5 mg of hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives (e.g., oleuropein complex and tyrosol) per 20 g of olive oil (otherwise 250 mg/l or 250 ppm) until its expiration date.

Bio/polyphenols have been found to protect the human body by preventing the oxidation of “good” LDL cholesterol. In recent years, research has been conducted on non-pharmaceutical treatments for combating dementia through the consumption of early-harvest extra virgin olive oil.

It has been found that extra virgin olive oil reduces blood pressure, aids digestion, and slows down the aging process of organs and tissues. It also plays a significant role in brain development due to its high vitamin E content.
