Meet the Press

If you have a picked olive in your hand, there's no time to lose. All our olives are pressed within 24 hours of picking, and we keep them in an atmosphere of food grade nitrogen to inhibit oxidation. When we blend our varieties to achieve the right taste naturally, we always blend the fruits before pressing, not afterwards in the oil.

Olea Naturae is cold-pressed, meaning that the process takes place at room temperature. We use only the first 90% of the press too - that's what defines extra virgin oil - and no chemicals thanks.

After this, the oil is left to stand, allowing sediment to settle naturally. When you pour Olea Naturae fresh from the bottle you’ll see it still retains a slightly cloudy appearance.
