Our elevated position in the hillsides provides a natural advantage in olive cultivation, as the altitude shields our trees from pests like the olive fruit fly that affect groves at lower elevations. This means our olives thrive with minimal intervention, requiring only essential pruning and strategic watering. While we maintain vigilant monitoring during critical periods, pest treatments are rarely necessary.
The exceptional quality of our olive oil depends primarily on our careful handling during the crucial period between harvest and pressing. Since olive oil quality begins to decline as soon as the fruit is picked, we transport each day’s harvest directly to the mill for immediate processing. The olives undergo cold pressing, preserving the delicate flavors, aromas, and beneficial compounds that characterize premium extra virgin olive oil. This careful attention to timing and processing ensures our oil consistently meets the highest standards of excellence.
