The extraction takes place in controlled atmosphere without the addition of water, at very low temperature, well below the 27 degrees centigrade that the law provides as the maximum limit for "cold" extraction.This allows us to maintain as much as possible the precious characteristics of freshly harvested olives. The result is an excellent and exclusive product of remarkable quality, equilibrium and elegance, with the preservation of all the<g> aromas> and antioxidant principles that with heat and with the addition of water would have been lost. The EVOO obtained is a rare and precious product, resulted from five centuries of tradition and passion.
