Picked Elaborately from Olive Oil Land’s Olive Trees
Olive oil is a widely used and highly valued ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine, and its popularity is growing worldwide due to its numerous health benefits. The production of high-quality olive oil involves several essential stages, including harvesting, pressing, and bottling. Let’s take a closer look at each of these steps.
The first stage in producing premium olive oil is harvesting. Olives are typically handpicked or collected using mechanical shakers that gently detach the fruit from the tree. The timing of the harvest is crucial in determining the oil’s flavor and quality. If picked too early, the oil may be overly bitter; if picked too late, it may lose its fresh and rich aroma. Therefore, experienced olive farmers carefully monitor the ripening process to ensure the olives are harvested at the optimal time for the best possible taste and quality.

Once the oil has been carefully extracted, it is prepared for bottling using state-of-the-art technology. High-quality olive oil is typically bottled in dark glass containers to protect it from light exposure and preserve its rich flavor.
Each bottle is labeled with the harvest date and the olive variety used, ensuring transparency and quality assurance. Proper storage is essential to maintain the oil’s freshness—bottles should be kept in a cool, dark place and consumed within a year of the harvest date for the best taste and nutritional benefits.
Cold Pressed at 27°C
Once the olives are harvested, they are taken to a mill for pressing. The first step in the pressing process involves washing the olives to remove any dirt or debris. Next, they are crushed into a paste using a large stone or metal press.
This paste is then gently mixed to encourage the oil droplets to merge and separate from the other components. Finally, the oil is extracted using a centrifuge, which effectively separates the oil from water and solid residues. The resulting oil is typically filtered to remove any remaining impurities, ensuring a pure and high-quality final product.
