To preserve its freshness after arriving from Italy, the olive oil is stored in stainless-steel tanks designed specifically for high-quality extra virgin olive oil. Unlike typical storage that may expose oil to air and light, these tanks are sealed and protected with nitrogen, an inert gas that prevents oxidation.
Oxygen, light, and heat are the main factors that cause olive oil to lose its aroma and flavor over time. By replacing the oxygen in the tanks with nitrogen, the oil remains stable, fresh, and protected, maintaining the characteristics it had right after production.
The oil stays in these controlled tanks until just before bottling, which allows us to preserve its quality and flavor at the highest level before it is prepared for shipment to your home.
