The five will pound of VEÁ

The five will pound of VEÁ
	The extraction of oil is a lengthy process and it is important that all steps are followed in order and are scrupulously carried out to ensure quality.

	The first mainstay is land and climate.
		This is our most fundamental factor since the extremes of climate, conditioned by the land, eliminate most plagues and mean we hardly have to use any chemical products. In this way, our products contain an infinitesimal percentage of these products.

	The second mainstay is La Arbequina

		The Arbequina olive is one of the smallest and is used to produce olive oil. It is more rounded than long, ripens early, has a green / purple shiny colour and produces a very fine, almost sweet, oil.

	The third mainstay is picking and transport to the press

		Most picking is done by hand in order to avoid harming the olive. Cuts which would otherwise allow oxygen into the fruit and subsequent fermentation leading to an increase in acidity, are avoided. The transport to the Mill makes every day.

	The fourth mainstay, Extraction.

		Carrying out a quick extraction we avoid the oil's oxidation as much as possible. A new machinery has been developed to carry out a cold extraction process with a very short mixing time, an important change that will substantially improve the oil quality.

	The fifth mainstay, storage, filtering and bottling.

		The oil must not be subject to either notable changes in temperature, nor sunlight. Veá stores its oil in a specially built warehouse to meet these conditions and the oil is stored in stainless steel drums. It only leaves the warehouse when an order is received and it is then gravity filtered.
