Buying olive oil from the olive mill is the best choice. Here’s why.
Buying extra virgin olive oil from the olive mill is not only a conscious choice, but it can also become an experience. Extra virgin olive oil is not always a commodity: it can be a pleasure to enjoy with all the senses. Those who experience the pleasure of an extraordinary oil for the first time do not simply delight their taste buds, but embark on a true sensory journey towards the fields where the olives grew and were harvested. It is an encounter with culture, traditions, and the people with whom we share the time of the table and food. An emotional journey linked to the satisfaction of preparing a very simple recipe that, with just a few right seasonings, can create culinary masterpieces.
Here at our olive mill, we want your experience with olive oil to begin even before you open your can or bottle: from the moment of purchase. When you visit our farm, you will be able to taste the different oils we produce and then choose the one whose aromatic notes best reflect your personality and, therefore, your tastes. Each variety produces oils with different aromas and flavours, which you can compare only by tasting them: you will truly become the protagonist of your purchase, without letting habit, a brand name, or a special offer choose for you.
You will also have the certainty of purchasing a high-quality product. Visiting the producers means coming into contact with the behind-the-scenes work of extraction and production, and only those who offer transparent quality can show it openly and without fear.
To guarantee these quality standards, we at Azienda Agricola Oliva ensure that our olives are always hand-picked before full ripening, when they are not yet mature. In this way, they preserve their aromatic bouquet intact and produce an oil that is not only bitter and spicy, but rich in different aromas from which you can choose according to your preferences.
While hand-picking requires patience and high costs, timing becomes extremely tight when it comes to milling the olives, which takes place within 12 hours of harvesting. Extraction is carried out only through mechanical and cold processes, so as to preserve all the organoleptic qualities of the product. Afterwards, we bottle the oil in cans or in glass or ceramic bottles, the most suitable containers for bringing all the goodness of extra virgin olive oil to your table.
Before being placed on the market, we also taste it to make sure it is truly exceptional. Those who try it for the first time may perceive it as strangely different from the oils they are used to buying at the supermarket, because it is more bitter and spicy. But these characteristics are qualities, determined by the presence of polyphenols, antioxidants that support our health, which olives are rich in and which early harvesting and very fast extraction help preserve.
You may also have the impression that Favola oil is much fruitier: this too is normal, because just as every flower has its own fragrance, olives also have their own aroma, which is transferred to the oil obtained from them when they are carefully and accurately processed.
It is a combination of details that makes the difference and has led our EVO oil to be appreciated all over the world, as shown by the many awards won over the years, but above all by the satisfaction of our customers, who often first discovered us right here at the olive mill. It is truly a unique experience that places the customer, their tastes, and the quality they deserve at the centre.
