Products DNA
Making great olive oil begins in the olive groves, where Takao Nouen spend each year ensuring the best possible harvest in the autumn. Olives are first brought into their sorting area, where twigs, leaves, and other impurities are carefully picked out; then the olives make their way to the processing area. Time is of the essence, and the less that passes between picking and processing, the better.
As a rule, they try to extract oil olives on the day they are harvested, if not the morning after. Once they start the extractor machine, it cannot be stopped, so they have to coordinate with the pickers out in the groves to keep everything running smoothly. Farm workers make sure that once they get going, they have a steady supply of olives to run efficiently.
Once harvesting and processing the olives is finished, it is time to get the oil ready for consumers. Each stainless storage tank is being opened one by one and tested for quality. They use transparent bottles so that customers can enjoy the oil’s vivid green color. If customers are not planning to use the oil up in a short period of time, it’s best to wrap the bottle in aluminum foil or protect it some other way.
