PRODUCTION AREA
Made with olives grown on the hills of the Western Ligurian Coast. The olive trees benefit from highly favourable exposure and a mild microclimate that produces perfectly ripe fruit.

TECHNOLOGY
The olives are harvested in November and December. After the leaves have been stripped away, the olives are slowly ground with traditional granite grindstones. The resulting paste is cold pressed to produce a liquid that is 40% water and 20% oil. The remaining 40% of the paste is residue that remains in the pressing mats.
The last stage in the process is centrifuging the liquid to separate the water from the oil. The oil is then sieved to remove any remaining impurities and stored at a constant temperature.
