Harvesting, for example, is carried out exclusively using the technique of facilitators or harvesters.
This type of harvesting guarantees the high quality of our olives.
The extraction of the oil takes place within a few hours of harvesting<\/b> using machinery that performs continuous cycle processing<\/b>. This ensures excellent quality while preserving all the organoleptic properties, yet at the expense of a higher yield<\/b>.
This process takes place in several stages:[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ make_equal=”on” admin_label=”pulizia” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”align-items: center;” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_css_main_element_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_css_main_element_tablet=”align-items: center;” custom_css_main_element_phone=”align-items: center;”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_text_color=”#95589E” header_3_font_size=”24px” header_3_letter_spacing=”-1px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\nCleaning<\/h2>\n
A special machine receives the olives, which are defoliated, washed and transferred to the crusher. The whole process takes place in a gentle manner to bring the fruit intact to the next processing stage. <\/p>\n

The stainless-steel crushers process the olives at low revolutions, without heating the paste and in the absence of light<\/b>. In this way, we obtain a paste that preserves all the qualitative and nutritional characteristics of the olives, with maximum hygiene<\/b>.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_text_color=”#95589E” header_3_font_size=”24px” header_3_letter_spacing=”-1px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\nKneading<\/h2>\n
In this phase, the olive paste is slowly stirred for about 15-20 minutes in a stainless steel tank protected from light and air, in a strictly controlled the temperature<\/b> always below the 27 \u00b0C required by the cold-processing regulations. This step drives the oil cells to release the oil they contain.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.verzen.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/gramolatura-795.webp” alt=”olives cleaning process” title_text=”gramolatura-795″ show_in_lightbox=”on” use_overlay=”on” overlay_icon_color=”#FFFFFF” hover_overlay_color=”rgba(114,128,61,0.5)” hover_icon=”.||divi||400″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ make_equal=”on” admin_label=”estrazione” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”align-items:center;” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_css_main_element_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_css_main_element_tablet=”align-items:center;” custom_css_main_element_phone=”align-items:center;”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_text_color=”#95589E” header_3_font_size=”24px” header_3_letter_spacing=”-1px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\ncold Extraction<\/h2>\n
The paste passes through a \u2018decanter\u2019, a machine that, thanks to centrifugal force<\/b>, separates the actual oil from the water naturally contained in the olives and the solid parts like pulp and stones.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.verzen.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/544-estrazione-795.webp” alt=”Extra virgin olive oil extraction” title_text=”544-estrazione-795″ show_in_lightbox=”on” use_overlay=”on” overlay_icon_color=”#FFFFFF” hover_overlay_color=”rgba(114,128,61,0.5)” hover_icon=”.||divi||400″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ make_equal=”on” admin_label=”filtraggio” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”align-items:center;” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_text_color=”#95589E” header_3_font_size=”24px” header_3_letter_spacing=”-1px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\nFiltration and controlled storage<\/h2>\n
Filtration removes part of the dispersed water and some residual impurities, preventing deposits from forming over time. This step results in a more stable product without sacrificing colour, density and other important characteristics of the extra virgin oil<\/b>. The oil is now ready to be stored in hermetic stainless-steel barrels at a controlled temperature while waiting to be bottled for retail sale.
The barrels are also connected to a nitrogen pressure system that \u2018seals\u2019 the extra virgin by blocking oxidation processes.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.verzen.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/olio-appena-estratto-795.webp” alt=”freshly extracted extra virgin olive oil, with the typical green colour that will fade over time” title_text=”olio-appena-estratto-795″ show_in_lightbox=”on” use_overlay=”on” overlay_icon_color=”#FFFFFF” hover_overlay_color=”rgba(114,128,61,0.5)” hover_icon=”.||divi||400″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
