The Heart of Excellence: From the Tree to the Oil Mill in 5 Hours
The key element of our oil is its distinctive freshness. To produce fresh, vibrant oil, it is crucial to harvest the olives and transport them to our mill within 5 hours of harvesting, followed by immediate pressing. Simply put, this is our formula to ensure that San Basilio's "olive juice" remains fondly imprinted. This complete approach of harvesting, selection and fast pressing is what we call FAST PRESS®: a rapid procedure to obtain maximum freshness.
The San Basilio oil mill was custom designed, following the specific technical requests of the company. This ensures flawless processing of the fruit and scrupulous control of the evolution at every stage of the process. Below are some of the measures carefully considered during processing.
