The
Estate’s extra virgin olive oil is obtained solely from
its own olive production. Hand-arvesting is carried out when the
olives have reached the right maturity.
At
the oil-mill, the olives are pressed within 12 hours of harvesting,
and the oil is extracted by cold-pressing so as to preserve the
natural, characteristic aroma and flavour.

The
oil is then purified by natural decantation processes.
After pressing, the oil obtained is green in colour, very low
in acidity and slightly tangy in flavour.
The oil is best used plain to enhance the aromas of our Mediterranean
cuisine dishes. It should be consumed within two years of production
and, if possible, stored away from direct light
