Our cultivation is based on EU Regulation 834/2007 adopted by the European Council of Ministers of Agriculture in June 2007. This cultivation strictly adheres to specified conditions as follows: - No agrochemicals are used. - No chemicals are used. - Fertilization of soil uses only manure and self generating resources like leaves and the ashes of burnt olive branches after pruning. - No insecticides or other drugs are used to combat insects. Insect traps may be used. - Pruning and clearing of trees takes place in spring. - Trees are irrigated from June to September, with 1-2 tones of water per month depending on the size and needs of each tree. - Soil is plowed once in the spring. - The harvest is done manually. - Transfer to the olive oil press takes place immediately after harvesting the olives which are gathered in canvas sacks to ensure adequate ventilation during transport. - The pressing of olives to produce organic olive oil is a certified procedure under specific conditions. Cold water only is used in pressing to avoid the destruction of nutrients and vitamins. - The olive oil produced is immediately transferred to stainless steel containers to be stored. Storage conditions require a constant temperature and humidity and no access to light. Stringent conditions of cleanliness are respected throughout the entire process. |
