Production

The harvest for our fresh olive oil starts in November which then lasts for several weeks. The harvest is done by hand with special rakes that pull off the olives from the tree and drops them into a net, which is then placed into sacks. As a result, the fruits are not getting bruised. This helps create an extremely high quality final product just like the range of Acropolis’s olive oils.

 

The sacks are then transported to the olive oil mill on the same day of harvest. At the mill the first process that takes place is the removal of the olive leaves and washing the olives. Then the crushing and the mixing of the olives is done by machine, traditionally by a hand mill made from a rolling stone.

 

The next process is the separation of solid pomace and liquid constituents of the olives. Then the centrifugal separation of the liquid into virgin olive oil and vegetable water is done. Following on is the retention of the olive oil into tanks so that it clears by itself through natural sinking of the deposits. Then the filtration process occurs, which is done through filter paper, cleaning the final produce.

 

Once completed the olive oil goes through to our quality control procedure and is sent for quality analysis to an independent party. Finally if the quality meet the high standards then we bottle it at our state of the art bottling plant and the final product is then shipped accordingly.
