How does our process relate to the classification "Extra Virgin Olive Oil"?
Extra virgin olive oil is the highest grade of olive oil, defined by its purity, freshness, and exceptional flavor. To meet this standard, olives must be harvested with care, pressed quickly after picking, and extracted without heat or chemicals.
At Olio della Rocca, every step of our process is designed to protect the fruit’s integrity:
- Gentle hand-harvesting prevents bruising and oxidation.
- Same-day cold pressing within hours of picking preserves delicate aromas, healthy polyphenols, and naturally low acidity.
- Purely mechanical extraction ensures the oil is unrefined and free from additives.
- On-site bottling shields the oil from light and air, locking in its freshness and nutritional value.
The result is an oil that meets the strict international standards for extra virgin olive oil: rich in flavor, naturally healthy, and deeply connected to the land where it’s made.
