Features

This extra category extra virgin olive oil is produced using only and exclusively Italian olives, grown in Central and Southern Italy, by cold extraction and solely by mechanical means. After being separated from the remains of twigs and leaves by means of sorting, the olives are weighed and stored to then be washed and sent to the milling, a mechanical action that has the purpose of breaking the cell walls to make it come out. Thus we obtain what is called 'oil paste', an emulsion composed of oil, water and solid parts. We then proceed with the kneading which allows the oil drops to be separated from the water by mixing the pulp and the mechanical extraction performed with a centrifuge. At the end of this operation the oil is cloudy. During its storage, the solid residue that causes the turbidity is deposited on the bottom of the container and the clarified oil can be filtered and finally bottled.
