Hands harvesting olives at Moretti Estate

How We Press

From Tree to Bottle

Hand Picked · 24hr Mill · Cold Pressed · Unfiltered · Harvest Dated

Four steps

  1. 01

    Harvest — Hand-Picked. Early Season.

    We harvest green-to-purple, before full ripeness. Higher polyphenols. More character. No machine stripping. Crews move row by row, bucket by bucket, while the fruit is still firm enough to travel without bruising.

  2. 02

    Mill — Crushed Within 24hrs.

    The fruit never sits. From tree to mill in under a day. Temperature controlled. No heat. No compromise. What leaves the grove in the morning is paste by afternoon.

  3. 03

    Press — Cold Pressed. Unfiltered.

    Two-phase decanting. No second press. Bottled cloudy — the sediment is evidence of nothing added. We don't polish the oil for shelf appeal. What you taste is what came off the fruit.

  4. 04

    Bottle — Sealed Dark. Dated Honest.

    Every bottle carries a harvest date, not a best-before. Kept cool, it holds its character for 18 months. Dark glass. Honest label. No mythology — just where it was grown and when it was pressed.

Nothing Added. Nothing Removed.

Each oil is pressed within 24 hours of harvest, unfiltered, and bottled on-site. We don't blend from elsewhere. We don't chase volume. The process is slow because the land sets the pace.
