Description of First Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Our “First Harvest Premium Olive Oil” is an international award-winning, premium quality olive oil. Production of this oil takes place early in the harvest season and is carried out with utmost care and passion.
Olives are pressed when they are still bright green and the oil that is obtained is golden green with a strong olive fragrance.
Our premium oil contains high amounts of polyphenols. According to EU Health Claim, the consumption of olive oil polyphenols contributes to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress.
This type of oil is best consumed raw as a dip or salad dressing. It’s even recommended that a teaspoon of oil is consumed every morning for a refreshing start to a day.
Production Method of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
One of the most crucial aspects of excellence in production is to process olives on the day of their harvest. We make sure to transport our olives to the factory as soon as they are picked.
First, they are stored in a cooling room to prevent heat in the olives. After this, the production starts. Our German-made GEA Westphalia pressing line is a one-of-a-kind pressing unit. First, the olives are crushed, then the olive dough is kneaded in mixing tanks.
After some time in the mixing tanks, now the mellowed dough is run through a decanter. In the decanter, solids, and liquids (Water and Oil) are separated.
Finally, liquids are separated in a separator, resulting in a golden green oil. During these phases, our machinery is cooled with running water to keep the temperature of the produce under 24° Centigrades. Thus we achieve true Cold-Press in all our products.
After storing the Olive Oil in chrome tanks for some time to ensure the settling of solids, the oil is filtered to get rid of the remaining solid particles. All our products are stored in chrome tanks and are topped with Nitrogen gas to prevent any contact with oxygen. Our storage facility is climate controlled to ensure the highest quality conditions for our products. The filling is done hand free in a rotary machine that is capable of filling 800-1000 units per hour.
