From Harvest to Bottle: The Magical Journey of Our Olive Oil
Have you ever wondered how the fruit of the olive tree transforms into the exquisite liquid we use every day? At Torres y Ribelles, this process is a blend of tradition, technology, and passion. The journey of our olive is a meticulous process that guarantees the highest quality in every bottle.
It all begins with the harvest, a crucial moment that takes place at the optimal point of ripeness for the olive. The olives are picked in a way that avoids damage, preserving their integrity and properties. Once harvested, they are quickly transported to the mill for processing.
The next step is milling, where the olives are crushed to create a paste. This paste is then subjected to cold pressing, a technique that is fundamental to earning the "extra virgin" distinction. Unlike other methods that use heat, cold pressing preserves the vitamins, antioxidants, and natural flavors, resulting in an oil of exceptional quality.
Finally, the oil is naturally decanted and stored in stainless steel tanks, protected from light and air to maintain its freshness. Only after passing rigorous quality controls is it bottled and labeled with the Torres y Ribelles guarantee, ready to arrive at your table. This process, which combines ancient knowledge with modern technology, is our commitment to excellence.
