Extreme used the most advanced & beneficial technology in gathering the olives from its own groves.
The crop is hand-picked according to the traditional method & the quality olives used to produce our oil are selected right in the grove
Transportation:

Washing & Weighting:
At the processing plant, top soil & natural materials such as leaves are removed after which the fruit is weighted

The olives pass through stone or hammer mills, crushing the fruit & forming a homogenous paste.
Mixing:
Once ground, the paste is gently mixed in order to increase the size of the oil drops & allow water to slowly separate
Pressing:
The resulting paste is pressed to extract the oil & water
Decantation:
This step ensures the final separation of water from the oil whether by means of a natural decantation or centrifugal decanters.
Storage:
Once the production steps are completed, the oil is stored in stainless steel cans, to prevent contact with the outside.
