From harvesting to milling: the journey of our Molisìr oil
The production of Molisìr organic extra virgin olive oil is a ritual that is repeated every year, following the rhythms of nature and the traditions of our land. Between September and October, when the olives reach the right stage of ripeness, the most eagerly awaited moment begins: the harvest.
Harvesting: respect and care for every olive
Our olives are harvested using techniques that respect both the plant and the fruit. The use of nets and mechanical aids allows us to avoid them falling to the ground and to preserve the quality of the drupes.
As soon as they are harvested, the olives are transported to the mill within a few hours to prevent fermentation or oxidation, which would compromise their taste and organoleptic properties.
Each step is carefully monitored, because only healthy, intact olives can produce superior quality extra virgin olive oil.
The milling process: where our EVO oil is born
The heart of the process is milling, the moment when olives become oil. The olives are first washed and cleaned of leaves and impurities, then they go to the crushing stage, where they are mechanically broken to release the pulp and the precious juice contained within them.
This is followed by kneading, a slow mixing of the olive paste at a controlled temperature, which is essential for breaking down the water-oil emulsion created during the crushing phase. Finally, thanks to cold extraction, we separate the oil from the water and pomace, obtaining a pure, natural product rich in fragrances.
An oil that tells the story of the land
Our organic extra virgin olive oil comes from Molise, an authentic land where the tradition of olive oil production is intertwined with respect for the environment.
This philosophy is also reflected in the organic certification that accompanies every Molisìr product, a symbol of clean agriculture and production ethics that represent us.
Every Molisìr bottle contains the essence of our olive groves and the work of an entire season: herbaceous aromas, fruity notes, balanced flavor, and a quality that can be perceived with every taste.
For us, producing oil is not just a job, but an act of love towards nature, our land, and the people who choose it every day.
