Our Olives

Our olive groves consist of four hundred olive trees grown at Country Relais & Spa Le Capanne. Vera Olio is made up of seven various types of olives to create a perfectly balanced oil; very healthy and above all else, naturally delicious. No chemical agents are ever introduced to our olives, as they consistently remain in their purest form.

Production

Our olives are carefully selected and harvested by hand; as Italians have historically done for centuries. The oil is obtained from our olives solely by mechanical means (EC Reg. 1019-2002). We use our local mill to squeeze the olives and extract the precious oil in a rigorous processing cycle that is divided into 7 essential steps:

Harvesting, Washing, Pressing, Kneading, Squeezing, Separation and Storage.
