Our oil
The oil of Valbosco Estate is obtained exclusively from olives grown and harvested on the estate.
The six hectares of olive groves are made up of 60% of centuries-old olive trees and the remaining 40% are younger trees.
Rotondella, Frantoio, Ogliarola and Leccino olives are cultivated and used in the production.
The Harvest.
At Valbosco estate, the olives are harvested in October and November, when the olives are ripe. Two types of harvesting are used: hand and machine aided harvesting carried out with the help of electric power combs. Once harvested, the olives are put in classic bins and at the end of the day are taken to the mill for grinding, always carried out within 12 hours of harvesting. The process continues with cold pressing. When the oil has been obtained it is subjected to a thorough organoleptic analysis for acidity, peroxides and polyphenols, followed by the panel test and sensory analysis.
The Product.
At this stage the oil is stored in stainless steel vats , where a natural settling takes place. In the following 30 to 50 days, the oil is decanted 2 or 3 times to remove residual sediment and then the containers are sealed carefully, so as not to disperse the fragrance of the product. The next step is bottling by hand or by machine depending on the volume.
No preservative are added and especially no filters that may alter organoleptic qualities are used.
