The ideal moment is when the majority of the olives have just become ripe. This is an important factor when choosing a high quality oil.
Every detail is important in order to reach a high quality oil.
The oil is extracted from the first cold pressing of the olives and is unfiltered to maintain the rich and unique flavor of this countryside Tuscan product. Pressing techniques are very important to insure a high quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil. You should avoid storing your oil in direct light in order to preserve its quality. Always close the lid tightly after you have used the bottle. Store your oil at the right temperature.
