Quality check

The protected designation of origin, better known by the acronym PDO, is a brand that is attributed to foods whose peculiar qualitative characteristics essentially or exclusively depend on the territory in which they were produced. The geographical environment includes both natural and human factors which, combined together, make it possible to obtain an inimitable product outside a specific production area. In order for a product to be PDO, the production, transformation and processing phases must take place in a defined geographical area. Who makes PDO products must comply with the strict production rules established in the production specification, and compliance with these rules is guaranteed by a specific control body.

Storage

The oil obtained from the separation process is the finished product; however, it is cloudy due to the natural solid residue contained within it. This is why it is usually left to rest before placing it on the market. We let it rest for several months in special steel drums at a controlled temperature, and let the product become clear in a natural way thanks to gravity. Only at that point, in spring, we bottle our extra virgin olive oil in special bottles that preserve its taste and color. Pending the sale, they are stored in rooms at a controlled temperature and in the absence of light in order to preserve their quality and organoleptic characteristics.
