The groves extend across the areas of Santa Maria and Bertolino, both of them close to the coast and touched by the sea breeze.<br \/>\nWe cultivate two prestigious varieties of olive: <em>Nocellara del Belice and Cerasuolo<\/em>, both of outstanding quality.Our natural cultivation methods include: natural manure, organic copper, and protein bait. Our organic extra virgin olive oil is also rich in antioxidant properties, thanks to the presence of phenols and tocopherols \u2014 widely regarded as a genuine ally for good health.<br \/>\nAfter careful selection, the olives are harvested at precisely the right stage of ripeness and taken immediately to the mill for pressing \u2014 to prevent oxidation and preserve all their organoleptic qualities.<br \/>\nThe olives are pressed using cold mechanical methods, with no chemical treatment whatsoever. This guarantees a product of the highest quality \u2014 fully expressing the body and fruity aroma of our organic extra virgin olive oil \u2014 and ensures better preservation, because the polyphenols (nature&#8217;s own antioxidants) are kept intact.<br \/>\nFreshly pressed, our oil is sealed in tinplate cans (food-grade containers designed specifically for olive oil). This guarantees perfect conservation: the oil is protected from light, and contact with air is minimised, preventing oxidation.The olive harvest is an annual ritual happening each year between October. The air fills with the pleasant aroma of the milling, and everyone gathers hopefully for the first taste of our &#8216;green gold&#8217;: an oil that is peppery and bold, ranging in colour from brilliant green to a deeper shade, with a rich and distinctive fragrance \u2014 immediately recognisable for the warmth it leaves behind.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.arancechimerabio.com\/prodotto\/olio-extra-vergine-oliva\/\" target=\"_self\"  class=\"qbutton  big_large_full_width\" style=\"\">BUY NOW<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The olive groves Our olive groves are made up of century-old trees \u2014 deeply rooted in rural tradition, and in the Chimera family for many generations.
