 THE JEWELS OF THE MACRINA FAMILY

The olives are picked by hand before becoming completely ripe and pressed professionally immediately after being harvested. Each phase of the production is carefully monitored, both in the groves and at the pressing plant in order to safeguard the soul of these ancient trees. Every part of the process aims at enhancing the beneficial characteristics, the quality and the excellence of a luxury Italian product.
