Method of Extraction

Within 10 hours of their hand harvest the olives are crushed with traditional granite stones after that thousands of stainless steel blades penetrate the olive paste slowly and continuously. Each time the blades emerge from the paste they bring with them a small quantity of very pure golden yellow oil with an olive green reflection, which drips off and is collected. The result of this expensive process is an oil of great delicacy.

The Stone Crusher

Can be adapted to olive and pit size to optimize paste characteristics
Doesn't cut the skin, releasing less chlorophyll
Formation of larger size drops of oil, minimizing mixing times
Paste isn't heated.

The Sinolea Method

A completely cold working system.
No agitation or press of the oil.
Guarantees the highest contents of antioxidants and specific quality components.
High in polyphenol content.
Very low acidity.
Exalts the extra virgin's oil organolephic features.
Produces oil with richness in fragrance and taste.

The sinolea method extracts about 50% of the oil in the paste. In order to enhance the quality of the remaining 50% of the oil, all our process operates at low temperature, as for it retains not only the sensitive aromatic properties, but also the antioxidants and nutrients which are often diminished by elevated temperature.
