The production of high-quality extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) begins with meticulous care for the olives. In particular, the Itrana variety, native to Cori, plays a vital role in our tradition. Additionally, the Leccino and Maurino varieties significantly contribute to the excellence of our region.
Caring for the olive groves requires the implementation of sustainable agricultural practices, which are essential for achieving high-quality olives. Pruning and managing the plants are crucial processes that ensure healthy, mature olives. Furthermore, climatic conditions directly impact the quality of EVOO; thus, the soil plays a pivotal role in the final yield.
Harvesting olives must occur at the right time to maximise quality. Therefore, we employ hand harvesting, which preserves the organoleptic characteristics of the oil and guarantees an exceptional product. This traditional practice, combined with modern extraction techniques, results in oil that is rich in polyphenols and antioxidants.
Moreover, it is critical to mill the olives promptly after harvesting. This step prevents oxidation and retains the oil’s quality, ensuring a first-class final product.
Regarding the 2024 olive harvest, the forecasts for Cori are exceptionally promising. This year’s favourable climatic conditions bode well for an abundant yield. Experts anticipate oils with complex aromatic profiles, thanks to cutting-edge production techniques and careful management of the olive groves.In conclusion, dedication and attention to olive care are crucial for producing high-quality extra virgin olive oil.
