Reception
of the olives hand picked from the olive tree one by one and transported
in boxes so that they do not suffer any damage. Once picked they
are cleaned of remains of dirt.
We
classify olives according to their sizes and we only use the bigger
olives and those that have not suffered any damaged.
Olives
are placed in 150 k. barrels with spring water, marine salt and
herbs from wood in order to give them the flavour of nature itself.
Olives
of the arbequina variety are ready to be preserved in pots and
later consumed.
We
check the size and quality of the olives that are going to be preserved
in pots.
We
fill the glass pots with olives of the arbequina variety.
The
pots are filled with water (samuela), the same water from the barrels,
preserving the environment.
In the same
step we put on the tops and seal the pots.
Pots
are put in metal baskets before they are put in the bath
of hot water (bain marie).
Olives
are pasteurized in a hot water bath, so they can be preserved NATURALLY for 2 years, without any kind of PRESERVATIVES or STABILIZERS as our grandmothers used to do at home.
This
is the final result of all the process of the elaboration of the
olives. The pots are ready to be labelled and put in boxes.
When
the pots are labelled, we print on the label: a sell by date,
contents and the manufacturing number.
