From the olive tree to the table
At Minos, we pay great attention to every step of the production process, from harvest to bottling. Our goal is to provide you with the highest quality olive oil, rich in flavor and nutrients.
Harvesting the olives
Our olives are hand-picked from Greek groves using technological equipment that simulates the hand movement, ensuring that the plant and fruit are not damaged and the quality is maintained.
The pressing
Within the first eight hours. Once the olives are collected, they are transported to the mill in perforated polyethylene boxes. This ensures good air circulation and prevents an increase in temperature. The pressing takes place within the first eight hours to avoid oxidation.
Kneading
The cold extraction phase. Kneading takes place at a temperature between 20 and 27°C for a maximum of 30 minutes, known as "cold extraction". This phase activates the natural enzymes in the olive paste and preserves the valuable nutrients.
Decanting
The final phase that creates our olive oil. During decanting, a decanter at a controlled temperature uses centrifugal force to separate the oil from water and olive residue. The extra virgin olive oil is then filtered from process residues, stored in steel tanks in a cool room and finally bottled.
Quality control
Every step of production is strictly monitored. Our team carries out regular quality controls to ensure that only the best olive oil reaches your kitchen. Our high standards ensure that you receive a product that is both delicious and healthy.
