In the Guardiagrele countryside, spread over four hectares of land located halfway between the sea and the Majella in Abruzzo, we have about 1,000 plants grown exclusively with natural systems and with organic farming, without the use of chemical fertilizers and respecting the phases of growth and maturation of the olives. The entire foothills environment in which we are immersed is characterized by a particularly favorable microclimate capable of protecting our wonderful centuries-old olive trees from the attacks of the oil fly, making it ideal also for the growth and evolution of the fruit.

STEP 4

Gramulation

Basin: Steel

Temperature: Below 27 °

Technique used: Cold pressing

In this phase the olive paste is gently mixed in a steel tank, monitoring and maintaining the temperature below 27 ° C (cold pressing). The low processing temperatures allow to preserve the taste, smell and typical flavor of the freshly picked fruit.

STEP 5

Extraction And Separation

Extraction Method: Centrifugation

The extraction takes place by centrifugation. The olive paste undergoes a centrifugation using the 2-phase decanter, obtaining the separation between the solid part (pomace) and the liquid part (must). Finally, the latter is centrifuged again to eliminate the aqueous part, thus obtaining a very pure extra virgin olive oil. The continuous monitoring of all stages of production and conservation guarantees the final quality of our yellow gold. After the analysis in the laboratory, we move on to bottling and marketing.
