The Process

Five quiet steps,
one bottle at a time.

Pouring Voulgaris extra virgin olive oil by candlelight
  1. I

    Hand Harvest

    Picked tree by tree in early November, when the olives still hold their green character. Nothing is shaken. Nothing is rushed.

  2. II

    Same-Day Press

    Olives travel less than a kilometre to the mill and are pressed within four hours of picking — preserving every aromatic.

  3. III

    Extraction

    Crushed and malaxed under 27°C in a single, gentle cycle. No heat, no chemicals, no second pressing.

  4. IV

    Quiet Settling

    The unfiltered oil rests in stainless steel for several weeks, away from light and air, until it clarifies on its own.

  5. V

    Hand Bottling

    Filled into dark glass, sealed, hand-numbered N° 1 through 500, signed, and laid in a black presentation tube.
