The Oil Mill

Where the centenary experience meets the olive tree

The Oil Mill

The transformation of the olives is crucial for obtaining a quality oil, provided that the fruits (drupes) are healthy and harvested at the right degree of ripeness.
First of all, it is necessary that the mill has a working capacity such as to allow the transformation of the olives within a day of delivery.
The ideal temperature of the olive grove must be between 10-15 ° C, and the relative humidity must not be higher then
50-60%, in order to avoid the onset of mold or fermentation processes.

Health starts with what you eat…

Representing love of life, the olive tree in its various forms is essential for a healthy and balanced life.

Luigi Pirandello tells us:

How many things will you know, you who have not yielded for three hundred or more years, oh gloomy olive tree, of the winds to the impact, and here you are standing on this solitary olive tree […] thinking back that living is foolish and that to die you profit a lot, you would not have lived three hundred years.
