Olive oil... A gift of thousands of years of culture, soil, labor, and patience. It's the product of a long journey, every drop meticulously preserved until it reaches our table. At Anka Farm, we listen to the rhythms of nature at every step of this journey, carrying quality directly from tree to bottle.<\/p>\n

In this article, we explain the journey of olive oil from harvest to table, step by step.<\/p>\n

\n

    The most important principle in harvesting: not to harm the olives<\/strong>. That's why we carry out a process that is respectful of the tree and the fruit, either manually or with minimal vibration.<\/p>\n

    \n
    3. Minutes After Collection Matter<\/strong><\/h6>\n

    Once the olives are picked, time begins to tick. Delayed pressing leads to oxidation and loss of quality.
    Therefore, at Anka Farm:<\/p>\n

      After the olives are cleaned, they are crushed and turned into pulp. Then, using modern systems, Below 27\u00b0C<\/strong>, that is, oil is obtained by cold pressing method.<\/p>\n

      Why cold pressed?<\/p>\n

        \n

        Vitamins and phenolic compounds are preserved,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        The aromatic profile of the oil is richer,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Health values remain at maximum level.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        This method combines traditional taste with modern hygiene and technology.<\/p>\n

        \n
        5. Maintaining Purity: Filtration and Conditioning<\/strong><\/h6>\n

        The oil obtained after pressing is either filtered or allowed to settle by natural sedimentation to separate it from the sediment.
        Filtered olive oil:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • \n

          It lasts longer,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          The taste is more stable.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          The most important issue at this stage is to minimize the oil's contact with oxygen, light and heat.<\/p>\n

          \n
          6. Bottling: The Final Touch<\/strong><\/h6>\n

          Quality olive oil can only be preserved with the right packaging.
          Because:<\/p>\n

            Dark glass bottles<\/strong> preferred,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          • \n

            Stored in light-blocking containers,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          • \n

            Bottling is done under completely hygienic conditions.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Inside the bottle is not just olive oil; it is also the essence of the labor put in all year round.<\/p>\n

            \n
            7. The Miracle That Reaches the Table<\/strong><\/h6>\n
