Production of Our Organic Extra Virgin Oil

The individual phases of our organic Extra Virgin olive oil production process are strictly controlled to ensure a high quality extra virgin olive oil.

The olives are harvested at the perfect stage of ripening, and pressed within 24/48 hours.

BioOrto uses a Molinova Serie Oro continuous plant, currently the leading model in the Pieralisi range; designed for batch processing, it is also completed automated for continuous operation.

Following the initial leaf removal phase, the olives progress to the washing phase where all of the soil is removed from the olives and any foreign bodies are discarded. The subsequent phase involves processing the olives using a highly automated pressing and grinding system, set to a constant, controlled temperature of 27°, followed by the extraction and separation phases. The resulting oil is stored in stainless steel silos in controlled temperature environments, before being packaged and bottled.
