How is the oil?           

With the evolution of technology, the harvest of the fruit and the production process of oil may have been easier, but in essence the way remains the same over the centuries:Picking the fruit:the fruit is harvested from November to March, ie six to eight months after the onset of flowering tree. For the production of better quality oil, the fruit should be harvested when the color changes, then that which is greatest oil content and the best flavor. Although they have made their appearance machines, the picking of the fruit is in most countries in the traditional way: by hand. The workers shake the branches with sticks after stretch out cloths or nets to collect the fruit, and gather the fruit in sacks. In some areas, do not do either, but expect the fruit to ripen and fall off on its own from the tree (eg, Corfu). Of course, oil is not very good quality. When gathered the fruit must be transported to the mill as quickly as possible (1-2 days). This is because if you leave the fruit olives begin to deteriorate (fermentation occurs).

 Editt wrist: 

to get the oil, the fruit is crushed mechanically. In the old days, people used large stone wheels to crush the fruit and take the oil. Nowadays olives placed in machines with stainless steel wheels, after washed and separated from the leaves, and then slurried and compressed. Add water to the pulp, and over by machines that filter out any sediment, water and oil are separated. The process is natural without adding other materials (other than water). Olive oil is really the only kind of oil that can be eaten as it exits the wrist.Rating: 
like good wine, every variety olive oil is the taste, color, aroma and acidity. Every kind of olive oil is unique because it is completely product specific conditions (soil, climate, type and age plantations, time gathered the fruit and processing). The color is basically green, but the shades of many. The flavor can be intense or softer, even a little hot. When done properly, the processing of oil, fully retains the flavor, vitamins and flavor of the fruit from which it is derived.
