Olio Extravergine di Oliva - Vini la Quercia

Our oil is obtained from different varieties of organic olives, harvested and processed within a short time. The olives arrived at the mill are first separated from leaves and twigs and then washed with running water to eliminate any residues of earth. Subsequently they are subjected to crushing, ie they are crushed to obtain a coarse paste. We then move on to the kneading, a slow and continuous mixing of the olive paste inside a machine called a kneader. All these operations take place in a continuous cycle and in environments where the temperature never exceeds 29 degrees centigrade, in order to preserve the organoleptic characteristics and properties of the oil. Finally there is the extraction by means of a centrifuge, which separates the oil from the vegetation water.
