During a few very specific days, at the beginning of the harvest season in October, this oil is made from green fruit to achieve its unique attributes. At least 20 kg of olives are needed to obtain 1 liter of product, because when green the olive has not yet fully developed its oil. So you can imagine just how exclusive this oil is.
