The production of Cervellera Extra Virgin Olive Oil starts from the care of the olive tree up to bottling, passing from mechanized harvesting to controlled cold pressing.
All this leads to an excellent quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil, with acidity content below 0.6% and in compliance with all the requirements for environmental protection and food safety.
Cervellera Extra Virgin Olive Oil is appreciated by the consumer who appreciates the genuine and natural character of this ancient fruit produced with passion and care. Lastly, the packages of table olives in brine from Leccina and Cellina were put into production. Our products The extra virgin olive oil of our production is obtained through a cold process from olives harvested from centuries-old trees of two native Apulian varieties: Cellina di Nardò and Ogliarola Salentina present alone or together, in varying percentages.
It is an oil that stands out for its genuineness and lightness (free acidity values below 0.6%) and presents itself to the eye with a marked bright yellow color imbued with greenish reflections; it has medium fluidity and a light but persistent leafy scent.
On the palate it has a clear bitter fruity flavor of medium intensity and a light and pleasant spicy note. In practice, the production scrupulously follows all the supply chain standards: harvesting (50% semi-mechanized), defoliation, washing and milling.
Defoliation allows the removal of foliage, twigs and dust. Washing has the task of removing impurities of vegetable and mineral origin. Finally, before the cold pressing, the passage on vibrating grids takes place which contributes to the removal of the water and the separation of the olives from other external agents.
