Extra Virgin Olive Oil

The production of our extra virgin olive oil begins at the end of October, when the olives, before they are completely ripe, are gathered directly from the trees, so that they never fall to the ground. The oil is cold extracted within few hours from the harvesting and produce an extra virgin olive oil which is naturally green in colour with yellow reflections. In order to get rid of the remaining impurities, the extra virgin olive oil is finally filtered.
