Origin: An Authentic Oil from the Heart of Albania
The olives used to produce our olive oil come from Kallmet and the surrounding villages, within less than 30 km of our winery. This proximity ensures freshness and quality in every drop. The Kallmet area, with its unique climate and fertile soils, is renowned for producing high-quality olives.
Variety of olives: The Best of the Albanian Native Olives
Our oil is made up of 70% olives of the Kallmet variety, a pearl of Albanian biodiversity, and 30% of other native varieties. This combination guarantees a balanced taste and a rich aroma, representing the best of the Albanian olive growing tradition.
Tradition: A Heritage of Generations
The families of Kallmet practice, from generation to generation, the cultivation of olive trees with traditional and environmentally friendly methods. Each bottle of Kallmeti Premium reflects this tradition by combining centuries of experience with a commitment to quality. The olives are hand harvested between October and November for maximum freshness.
Production method: Cold Pressing for an Incomparable Taste
The olives are brought immediately after harvesting to our oil mill, where they are cold processed using the Pegasso 500 method, a modern centrifugal separation system. This process preserves the nutritional and organoleptic properties of the olives, ensuring that our organic extra virgin olive oil retains its characteristic green color and robust flavor.
Organoleptic Characteristics: A Superior Quality Oil
Kallmeti Premium presents itself with a bright green color and a fruity aroma of fresh olive. Its balanced and slightly spicy taste makes it perfect for dressing salads, grilled vegetables, fish and a variety of Mediterranean dishes. Each batch of oil is tested in the laboratory of the Institute for Food and Veterinary Safety (ISUV) to guarantee maximum quality and purity.
