The selected olives are free of defects.

It is recognized as the “fresh juice of the fruit”, therefore, only those olives that do not have even the slightest defect are selected.

  • The selection process is very careful and punctual, focusing specifically on the smell they give off and their unequalled flavor.

  • These olives can only be selected if they have a median of 0 for defects and greater than 0 for median fruitiness, which refers to the positive attributes that make up the fruit.

  • All selected fruits go through respective processes to check the freshness and quality of the fruit.

Olives with low acidity level are selected.

When selecting the fruit, the degree of acidity of the fruit is checked. In the case of extra virgin oil, the fruit cannot exceed 0.8 ° in terms of acidity level.

Unlike virgin olive oil or traditional olive oil, the latter are made with olives that have a higher level of acidity, which can reach up to 2 ° of acidity.

On the other hand, the traditional one can only reach up to 1 °. Remember that the higher the degree of acidity of a fruit, the less healthy and less fresh it will be considered.

In the case of an olive with more than 2 degrees of acidity, it is considered by experts as a fruit in bad condition for this type of oil.

The extra virgin olive oil is undoubtedly elaborated under a demanding selection process based on the conditions of the olives, both in their production and in the results obtained once they are ready to be evaluated.
