EXTRA VIRGIN Olive Oil

It all starts with a dream followed by good quality soil, exceptional climate and a combination of tradition & skills with boutique mountain farming. A natural and traditional agriculture with no pesticides, no chemical enhance-ments and low density olive tree fields; allowing the tree roots to absorb more and better nutrients, creating richer and flavorful fruits.

One year of hard work, caring and nurturing soil and tree fields, culminates in the decision of the optimum moment for recollection. We do this by walking our fields, and selecting each tree individually, one by one, whose fruits have reached the desired maturity.For this EARLY HASVEST, the olives are recollected in a very early stage of ripeness with extremely low fat content. This method requires a much higher quantity of fruits to extract the Extra Virgin Olive Oil but it does produce an exceptionally rare high content of polyphenols (natural anti-oxidants) and in some cases up to ten times higher than green tea.

The olives are handpicked, always from the tree and never from the floor, transported in small crates, ensuring the integrity of each olive and that these reach the mill promptly; which contributes to give birth to a very low acid-ity and superior freshness.

In addition to the health and nutritional benefits, the flavor has a very unique character with a greener color and intense and pungent taste. This is an ancient art, not conducive to high production volume, but we deeply focused on every detail of the process to ensure we bring out the very best in each olive and thus creating superior quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil for our most discerning of customers.
