The importance of hand harvesting for high-quality olives

Hand-harvesting olives plays a key role in ensuring the quality of olive products. Special harvesting rakes are used to gently remove olives from the tree without damaging the fruit. This process preserves the valuable nutrients and aromas that are essential for first-class olives. Unlike mechanical methods that can cause bruising, hand-harvesting guarantees intact fruit and a more intense flavor.

Advantages of hand harvesting

  • Nutrient-rich : Gently harvested olives retain their antioxidants and healthy fats.
  • Aroma protection : The method protects the full aroma and ensures the best taste.
  • Sustainability : Traditional hand harvesting supports sustainable and environmentally friendly agriculture.

Why hand harvesting is the best choice

By handling the olives carefully, not only are the nutrients preserved, but also the authentic taste and quality. Traditionally harvested olives offer the incomparable taste of the Mediterranean and the highest quality.
