Decantation is a traditional, time-honored method that elevates the quality of extra virgin olive oil by allowing it to purify over time naturally. Unlike filtration, decantation gently separates the oil from its natural impurities, preserving more of the olive’s aromatic compounds and beneficial polyphenols. After decantation, we only use oil present in the upper part of the tank, thus eliminating sediment and guaranteeing a delicately cloudy oil
