The journey of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) from the olive tree to your table is a testament to nature's bounty and human craftsmanship. High-quality EVOO is the result of careful cultivation, precise harvesting, and sophisticated extraction techniques. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is dedicated to this entire process, ensuring that every bottle of our premium EVOO represents the pinnacle of quality. Let's explore the meticulous steps involved.

Cultivation and Harvesting: The Foundation of Quality

The quality of EVOO begins in the grove. The health of the olive trees, the soil conditions, and the climate all play a critical role. Our sourcing emphasizes olives grown in ideal conditions, ensuring optimal development of flavor and beneficial compounds. Harvesting is a critical phase; olives are typically picked when they reach the perfect stage of ripeness – often when they are transitioning from green to purple. This timing is crucial, as it balances oil yield with the development of peak flavor and polyphenol content. Modern harvesting techniques focus on efficiency while minimizing damage to the olives, as bruised or overripe olives can compromise the oil's quality.

Milling and Extraction: Preserving Nature's Goodness

Once harvested, olives are transported to the mill promptly to prevent degradation. The milling process involves washing the olives to remove debris, followed by crushing them into a paste. This paste is then typically malaxed (gently stirred) to allow oil droplets to coalesce. The extraction of the oil from the paste is primarily done through mechanical means, with cold extraction being the hallmark of high-quality EVOO. This method involves pressing or centrifuging the paste at temperatures below 80.6°F (27°C) to preserve the oil’s delicate flavors, aromas, and beneficial nutrients. Any use of heat or chemicals would classify the oil as less than extra virgin.

Processing and Bottling: Ensuring Purity and Freshness

After extraction, the oil undergoes separation to remove water and solid particles. Some EVOO is filtered for clarity, while others are minimally filtered or left unfiltered, retaining more sediment and potentially more flavor compounds. Proper bottling is crucial for preserving freshness. High-quality EVOO is packaged in dark glass bottles or tins that protect it from light and air. We ensure our bottling process maintains the integrity of the oil, ready for its journey to you.
