The work and objectives of the Desiderio family
The Desiderio family places among its main objectives the satisfaction of its customers, everyone's commitment to continuous improvement, the constant training of resources, attention to environmental, economic, social and ethical sustainability.
An expanding market that arises from the appreciation of the quality on which the product selection work is based. The Desiderio family follows every stage of the production chain. To reach levels of excellence , to express the best organoleptic characteristics and maintain its high nutritional value , extra virgin olive oil must follow a path that starts from the olive grove and follows careful and rigorous transformation and processing techniques.
For years, Olio Desiderio has chosen the olives to be transformed exclusively in Italy , controlling the harvest which is done manually with the comb method and at the right moment of ripening, thus avoiding the olives falling to the ground, bruising and deteriorating.
The olives, placed in baskets, are taken to the oil mill where cold pressing and subsequent centrifugation separate the impurities from the must. Thus was born the prodigy of Desiderio extra virgin olive oil , which travels its way to the table under continuous controls in order to offer consumers the fragrance of authentic and genuine flavors and aromas .
