1
Hand Harvesting of Biancolilla Olives
Carefully hand-harvest the Biancolilla olives from the trees to ensure that only the best quality olives are selected. Place the harvested olives into baskets to avoid bruising.

2
Preparation for Pressing
Once harvested, wash the olives thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Allow them to drain in a colander.

3
Cold Pressing
Using the olive oil press, feed the washed Biancolilla olives into the machine. Ensure that the press is set to a cold extraction method, which avoids using heat or chemicals. Collect the olive oil in a clean container.

4
Filtering the Olive Oil
After pressing, pour the freshly extracted olive oil through a fine mesh strainer into a storage container to remove any remaining olive pulp or solids. This will ensure a clear oil.

5
Bottling the Olive Oil
Carefully transfer the filtered olive oil into glass bottles. Seal the bottles tightly to maintain freshness. Store them in a cool, dark place.
