1. Washing and Defoliation
The first step towards purity. We remove all vegetable residue and wash the olives with temperature-controlled water to prepare them for crushing.
The Liquid Gold of Auletta
Olearia Aulettese extra virgin olive oil is not a simple condiment, but a concentrate of health and story rooted in the lands of the monks.
Cold Extracted
We process the olives within 24 hours of harvesting using cold pressing systems. This guarantees very low acidity and preserves the polyphenols, guardians of your health, intact.
Territory Cultivars
Rotondella, Carpellese, and Nostrale: our historic varieties give life to a balanced, harmonious oil rich in hints of fresh grass and almond.

Sep/Oct
Veraison
The olives change color, from green to purple. It is the signal of perfect ripening for our early harvest.
Oct/Nov
Harvest-Milling
From the plant to the mill in a few hours. Mechanical precision meets passion to extract our liquid gold.
The Oil Cycle
From the mill to the bottle.
2. Crushing
Cold extraction begins here. The olive paste is generated through the mechanical action of the crusher.
3. Malaxation
The olive paste is slowly worked to preserve the polyphenols and Cilento scents intact.
4. Centrifugation
Through the decanter, centrifugal force separates the oil from water and pomace. Mechanical precision for crystalline oil.
5. Separator
The final separation step. The separator handles the separation of remaining water and oil.
6. Storage
The oil is stored in temperature-controlled steel tanks. Nitrogen is used to prevent oil oxidation.
7. Bottling
The oil is bottled using automated machinery to then be brought to our customers' tables.
