Learn all about harvesting olives
This very special fruit that brings joy to lovers of SIQEV EVOO – a seal which guarantees maximum quality and exquisiteness – matures after the summer season. So, we can begin to harvest the olives from autumn onwards.
But what if the olive grove receives little rainfall throughout the year? This will influence the optimum time for harvesting, as well if there are alternating harvests, which will also determine whether the fruit arrives at its destination at one time or another.
In order to produce a SIQEV EVOO with the quality required by our associates, the peak time for harvesting olives is usually from November until January.
This is when the olives destined to make EVOO have reached their perfect maturity. However, it can sometimes take until April or May.
Once collected, they arrive at the mill of each of our associates and that is where the magic happens. The very special moment when an olive becomes liquid gold, just as intended.
All this always while complying with the rigorous quality processes that we demand at QVExtra! to obtain the SIQEV seal which guarantees the excellence of the EVOO.
Now that you know a little more about olive harvesting, you will surely see your favorite SIQEV in a different way.
