At the Cooperative we have the system of common grinding of the olives, which means that olives from the Cooperative members are ground together on the day that are harvested, resulting in the finest quality of the olive oil in order to maintain its highest nutritional value and fruity taste. This olive oil belongs to the upper category of Extra Virgin Olive Oil with acidity almost always less than 0.3.
