This allows us to avoid washing the olives. Washing the olives harms the oil that will be obtained for several reasons: the olive swells with water, the water harms the phenols in the oil, there may be microorganisms that pass through the water to the olives and the oxidation process is accelerated.

It cannot be forgotten that in the autumn, unlike most farmers, we no longer throw chemicals on the tree, in fact, we only throw copper in the spring. Therefore, since the olive appears on the tree, no chemicals are thrown on it. If anyone is afraid that the olives, if not washed, could carry any dirt, they should bear in mind that at the end of the oil extraction process the paste is centrifuged at many revolutions and thus the oil is separated from any impurities that may be present. After harvesting the olives with the vibrator, the olives are transferred to a trailer that has a grid with small holes to sift the olives and remove any small branches and some leaves that may be present.

Next we move on to the mill. Here the first step is to separate the olives from the leaves that have remained.
This is done with a blower that makes the leaves fly away and the olives, being heavier, fall. This process is a little dirtier and for this reason we do it in the reception area outside, in front of the mill.

Then the olives are taken to the mill. There the first step is to pour them into a knife grinder. This grinds everything and turns it into a paste.

ESTELS, our organic extra virgin olive oil.

It is a mid-season oil (late October, early November). It is only partially milled on the day of flowering (according to Demeter, milling on the day of flowering is not mandatory) since there are not so many flowering days in the calendar that allow us to mill everything.

It is a fruity oil, medium bitter and medium spicy where the fruity taste predominates.

Tasting note: On the palate you can appreciate aromas that remind us of grass and almond.

A soft and pleasant oil in the mouth that makes it very suitable for any dish.
