Description
Our cultivation system combines all the knowledge accumulated over generations with modern technologies resulting from research and development carried out by research centers and agronomy universities.
The trees are planted in a continuous hedgerow pattern, allowing maximum light exposure across the entire canopy. This provides greater accumulation of fatty acids and a uniform state of ripeness throughout the tree.
Controlled water and nutrient inputs ensure maximum oil quality, following our principle of excellence.
The speed of harvesting guarantees the fruit is in optimal condition at harvest time, thus preserving all the aroma and flavor of our land and variety.
Koroneiki is a variety of Greek origin. It produces intense, powerful oils with great personality.
After a long and careful journey, once the fruit has been obtained exclusively from our own estates, our mission has only just begun…we begin to craft Isbilya:
Olives are harvested in mid-October. This increases fruitiness (the organoleptic characteristic in tasting that recalls healthy, fresh olives). It entails a loss of production due to the lower oil yield of the fruit.
Harvesting takes place during the coolest hours of the day. This keeps the olives at a low temperature, enabling true cold extraction (22ºC) and yielding an exceptional olive elixir.
Harvesting is carried out with an over-the-row harvester. Thanks to this system, we can harvest our entire plantation in a single day, achieving maximum homogeneity in our oils.
We only collect olives from the tree and from the upper 3/4 of the canopy, where the fruits that will produce the highest-quality oil are found.
Milling is carried out less than two hours after harvesting.
Extraction Technology. Gea Westfalia, using the latest extraction technology, obtains its olive juices and subjects them to the strictest quality controls.
