The uniqueness of Extra Virgin Olive Oil PRIMO DOP is due to several strengths. The first one is the geographical position of the olives trees. Here the centuries-old olive trees (Tonda Iblea variety) have been thriving in their natural habitat for thousands of years. The techniques of cultivation, harvesting and processing of olives, rooted in the history of the island. The olives are harvested by hand picking, to avoid damage to the drupe, are brought to the mill and milled the same day. Beyond the historic olive groves, the company is moving towards innovation of farming facilities. The second point of strength is represented by the three extraction lines strictly work with controlled temperature (Cold Extracted Olive Oil). They are different in the centrifuge extraction method , but also in the method of mincing, these factors allow a great versatility of plants that are adapted to the different characteristics and levels of ripeness of the olives. Another point of strength is the method of preservation of the olive oil, it is stored at controlled temperatures in stainless steel containers and under nitrogen. In addition. during the bottling process, the use of nitrogen during all phases and in the bottle can preserve not only the chemical characteristics of the oil, but also the valuable qualities. All phases are strictly followed step by step and this allows to obtain an excellent olive oil, unmistakable fruity, balanced bitter and spicy in the mouth.
