It is a perishable product made once a year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The producers’ year-long effort has to be prepared in a few days, when the olives are harvested followed by the oil extraction. To guarantee quality<\/strong> there are rigorous and costly processes.<\/p>\n

A small producer cannot take risks in the phases between harvest and packaging, as any mistake can bring down a year of production and<\/strong>, at worst, the brand itself<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Some of the factors that influence are: the yield of each variety, size of production, moment of harvest (green olives yield less oil), labor, mill, logistics, analysis, POD stamps (when required), taxes, bottles, labels, capsules, boxes…<\/p>\n

The price of olive oil is all of that. And in the case of small-scale, rain-fed, intensive or traditional groves, such as those in Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes, operation is difficult and has high costs.<\/p>\n

From here comes the guarantee that it is an exceptional, rare and reliable product.<\/strong> This oil should not be compared with those produced differently.<\/p>\n
