Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Production of Bariani extra virgin olive oil starts with the extraordinary caretaking of their olive orchards. The olive harvest begins in October, when the olives are still green, up until the end of December when the olives reach their ripeness and are black in color. The olives are hand-harvested to avoid bruising and other damage caused by mechanical harvesters. As the olives arrive at the olive mill they are immediately cleaned and washed to remove any debris before being crushed. The resulting olive paste from the crusher is subsequently uniformly mixed and its oil is extracted. This extra virgin olive oil remains cold extracted and unfiltered to preserve its raw qualities and stored in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks until bottling.

Each bottle dates the harvest and bottling of this sublimely delicious olive oil.
