Fast press®

The faster the pressing, the purer the oil

Freshness starts at harvest

Freshness is at the heart of our olive oil.

That is why our olives are harvested and brought to our mill within 5 hours, then milled without delay.

It is a simple principle, but one that makes all the difference: the less time that passes between tree and mill, the better we can preserve the freshness, aromas and character of the fruit.

We call this method FAST PRESS®, our system for rapid harvesting, careful selection and immediate milling, designed to preserve the olives at their best.

Our mill at San Basilio was built around our own production requirements, giving us complete control over every stage of the process, from the moment the olives arrive to the moment the oil is produced.

Picked. Selected. Milled within hours.
Because freshness cannot wait.

Below, you can see some of the measures we take during production to protect the quality of every harvest.

The 5-Step Process

1.

Crushing within five hours of harvesting with a “double stage” mill. A necessary reduction in friction, for true cold processing

2.

Processing of olive paste: once again at controlled temperature with antioxidant system according to the strictest rules of cold pressing

3.

Oil extraction by centrifugation

4.

Product storage: at controlled temperature and antioxidant system in food grade stainless steel silos

5.

Bottling with antioxidant system in sterile environment
