Olive Harvest
In the months from October to February the olives are harvested by hand in the traditional way. In order to gently collect the fruit, large nets are placed around the trees. The olives are picked with loving handwork or with the help of wooden poles.
Immediately after harvesting, they are crushed and cold pressed to obtain a fresh and natural oil of the highest quality, known as “extra virgin”.
