The Journey from Grove to Bottle: How We Craft Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Step 1: Cultivating the Olive Grove

Our journey begins in our sun-kissed olive groves, where century-old trees thrive in the rich Italian soil. We carefully tend to our trees using sustainable and organic farming practices, ensuring the health of both our olives and the land. By respecting nature’s rhythms, we allow the olives to ripen naturally, absorbing the essence of their environment.

Step 2: The Perfect Harvest

Timing is everything when it comes to harvesting olives. We handpick our olives at the optimal moment—when they are perfectly ripe yet still rich in polyphenols, the powerful antioxidants that give EVOO its exceptional health benefits. Harvesting by hand ensures that the olives remain intact, preventing bruising and preserving their purity.

Step 3: Cold Pressing for Maximum Freshness

Immediately after harvesting, our olives are taken to the mill for pressing. We use the cold-press method, which means the olives are crushed at low temperatures to extract their oil without compromising flavor or nutrients. This process ensures our EVOO maintains its vibrant aroma, rich taste, and high nutritional value.

Step 4: Natural Settling & Bottling

Because our olive oil is unfiltered, we allow it to settle naturally, preserving its full-bodied texture and authentic character. This process results in a slightly cloudy appearance—proof of its purity and minimal processing. Once the oil reaches peak quality, we carefully bottle it, ensuring each drop retains the essence of the grove.

Step 5: From Our Family to Your Table

Every bottle of 100 Ulivi EVOO represents the passion and hard work poured into every stage of production. Whether drizzled over fresh bread, paired with seasonal vegetables, or used in gourmet dishes, our olive oil brings the authentic taste of Italy to your kitchen.
