At every stage of production, including receipt
of the olives and bottling, the oil is analysed to ensure that a quality
product is obtained in the best possible conditions. The very large
number of cooperative members necessitates stringent organisation
both in our daily operation and receiving visitors. We hold regular
"technical days" to raise growers' awareness about the need
to produce quality oil, ensure proper upkeep of their groves and take
a reasoned approach when treating the trees. The cooperative stays
in touch with its members throughout the year and provides them with
documents about plant protection. In its production methods, quality
is the watchword.
