Located 480 meters above sea level, Loco Galbasa l

Located 480 meters above sea level, Loco Galbasa looks south to the wonderful Mediterranean Sea and the beautiful island of Pantelleria, in a territorial context of rare scenic beauty.
Our estate covers about 20 hectares where lots of centuries-old trees make up a wealth of valuable native olive cultivars: among them the Biancolilla and Nocellara del Belice, and to a lesser extent neglected varieties, which give the final product unique scents and flavors.
Each year we program the olive harvest at the right time of veraison (the beginning of the ripening of the fruit) and the milling within 6-12 hours after harvesting: this process contributes to strong diurnal and nocturnal temperature changes to create a product of unquestionable quality.
Our olive production is part of the most traditional methods of organic farming certified by ICEA, and is also included in the disciplinary PGI Sicily and PDO Val di Mazara.
Respecting all the standards of organic farming, we carry out fertilization through green manure, a practice of cultivation with certified organic field beans that allows to release natural substances such as nitrogen into the soil without the use of chemicals and nourish the plants in a balanced way. For the traditional spraying of the olive grove we use only certified organic copper-based products.
To complete our work, the quality of production is subjected to strict controls by organic certification bodies, both in the field and on the final product: ICEA certifies the quality of the olives, while Accredia provides multi-residual chemical analysis, thanks to intensive tests (over 400 parameters) that attest to the total absence of non-permitted products.
In this way the final consumer will have the complete guarantee of an organic product monitored from the beginning to the end of production, bringing to the table both the quality and safety of a top quality oil.

The very first Italian Olive Oil production from Eva and Daniele.

In the start of 2023 Daniele and I became the proud managers of an olive orchard on the Italian coast. The orchard is located on the steep coast of Liguria, where the Apennines disappear into the sea. Together we embarked on the great adventure of caring for 550 olive trees, between 10 and 100 years old, on almost 2 hectares. This is our experimental year, everything new, sweating, hard work, sleeping among the trees, thunderstorms, swearing a little from time to time and drinking wine. Together we took approximately 560 kilos of olives to the mill, pressed and yielding a proud 75 liters of extra virgin olive oil! LOT 2829300923 contact eva@goedebodem.nl www.goedebodem.nl

It is a great pleasure to express my gratitude to

It is a great pleasure to express my gratitude to our esteemed panel of olive oil tasters. These individuals have dedicated their time and expertise to the art of olive oil tasting, and their contributions have been invaluable to the industry.

Olive oil is a staple in many households around the world, and its popularity continues to grow. However, not all olive oils are created equal. The quality of olive oil can vary greatly depending on factors such as the type of olive, the region it was grown in, and the production process. This is where the panel of olive oil tasters comes in.

These experts have undergone rigorous training to develop their palates and hone their skills in identifying the nuances of different olive oils. They use their senses of taste, smell, and sight to evaluate the quality of each oil, and their assessments are used to determine which oils are worthy of being labeled as extra virgin olive oil.

Thank you: Philippe, Diana, Mark, Guy, Miel, Rob, Anse, saskia, Annejet, Corry, Eline, Huibje, Willem, Wendy, Hester, Sergio, Massimo, Dorine, Rudolph, Helena en Christianne!

Their work is not easy. It requires patience, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of the complexities of olive oil. But their efforts are crucial in ensuring that consumers are able to enjoy the highest quality olive oils on the market.

So, on behalf of the olive oil industry and consumers around the world, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the panel of olive oil tasters. Your dedication and expertise have helped to elevate the quality of olive oil and ensure that it remains a beloved and essential ingredient in kitchens everywhere.

Thank you.
