High quality extra virgin olive oil, obtained directly from the olive fruit by exclusively mechanical means, is a text that must be stated on the label because it implies that the oil has been officially classified as extra virgin olive oil by analysis. The producer must provide you with analysis documentation upon request.

It is important that the place of production is stated.

The recommended time of use before opening is 2 years after production, if stored at temperatures of 10°-20°C protected from direct light.

Why only some oils are premium extra virgin olive oils?

And when you know all the details about their creation, then you trust them.

When helping an olive tree to grow fruit, only methods that are in harmony with nature are used - annual pruning of trees, mechanical shredding of the trimmed branches that are used to fertilize the soil, mowing the grass, fertilizing with the feces of horses or sheep that graze in the olive grove.

When the harvest time is optimally estimated, the hand-picked olives are kept in the shade throughout the day, and as soon as the harvest is over for that day, they go for processing. They are processed in an oil mill with new technology, where they are processed into oil with a temperature of up to 26°C, using a cold-pressed process.

The oil is stored in stainless steel barrels, and after filtering it is packed in small glass bottles. The oil is minimally exposed to oxygen. It is protected from higher temperatures and light. These are the most important conditions for preserving the nutritional and taste quality of the oil.

With primarily respect for the nature, but also the most up-to-date globally available knowledge in the olive growing sector, every step of this process has been carefully studied in order to comply with all the highest olive oil industry standards.

Today, most of the food we consume has a fairly long journey from the field to the table. The shorter that journey, the fewer points at which the product stops before consumption, the more preserved it reaches the consumer. Today, it is truly a luxury, and lucky are those who have the opportunity to consume fresh, local products, from a reliable source, that arrive quickly.
