Production Method: Cold Pressing for Unmatched Taste
Immediately after harvest, the olives are taken to our mill and cold-pressed using the Pegasso 500 method, a modern centrifugal separation system. This process, from cultivation to production, preserves the nutritional and organoleptic properties of the olives, maintaining the vibrant green color and robust flavor of our organic extra virgin olive oil.
