Semi-traditional Olive Oil Mills
Innovations in High-Quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil Production
Every single day, we challenge our methods of high-quality extra virgin olive oil production. In doing so, we strive to find the best production methods on a daily basis.
Semi-traditional olive mills are a hybrid of traditional and modern mills, offering several advantages over traditional mills while retaining some of their features. Here are some of the benefits of semi-traditional olive mills:
1. Improved Efficiency: Semi-traditional mills incorporate features of modern mills, such as stainless steel equipment and automated processes, making them more efficient than traditional mills. This efficiency can result in lower production costs and higher productivity.
2. Better Olive Oil Quality: These mills use a combination of traditional and modern techniques to extract the olive oil, resulting in higher quality olive oil with better flavor and aroma. They can also better control the temperature and pressure during the extraction process, preserving the olive oil’s nutritional properties.
3. Retained Traditional Features: Semi-traditional mills maintain some traditional features, such as granite wheels or presses, helping to preserve the unique flavor and aroma of the olive oil.
4. Flexibility: These mills are more flexible than modern mills, allowing for a variety of extraction methods depending on the type of olives being processed.
5. External Laboratory Analysis: To ensure the highest quality, the olive oil is sent for analysis in specialized laboratories. These labs conduct thorough tests to confirm the olive oil meets strict quality standards.
In summary, semi-traditional olive mills offer several advantages over traditional mills while retaining some traditional features. They are more efficient, produce higher quality olive oil, offer flexibility in extraction methods, and ensure quality through external laboratory analysis. These innovations contribute to the production of high-quality extra virgin olive oil with superior flavor and nutritional properties.
