While increases with continued leading the maturing status the amount of olive oil, but in the same time the quality decreases. Overripe olives, falling from the tree, are not suitable for an oil grade of "Extra Virgin”. Therefore, at Villa Oliveto olives are all hand-picked. An experienced picker reaps it in an hour max. 10 kg of olives.

After washing, they are still on the same day crushed and pressed. Then the olive oil is stored and bottled. Finally, the filled bottles are transported throughout Europe to Germany. Here comes the import tax and VAT.
