The manufacturing process of ERA MATEA® begins with the harvesting of the olives in mid-October, before they are fully ripe, in order to obtain a higher quality.
This is carried out manually or by means of mechanical systems that do not damage the fruit.
The olives are then transported with optimum hygiene and in the shortest possible time to avoid fermentation.
Once in the mill, the olives are carefully cleaned and ground using advanced technology.
The olive paste obtained is blended to facilitate the extraction of the oil, maintaining a temperature that does not exceed 30°C. In this way, undesirable changes in the flavour and aroma of the final product are avoided.
In order to preserve the exceptional characteristics of our EVOO, we store it in stainless steel containers. Maintaining a stable and mild temperature environment, in a place without light and free of alterations.
