Production

The Olive Harvest

The olive harvest takes place approximately in the months of September-October, following the natural progression of ripening, which varies from year to year depending on the rainfall and sunshine of the previous months.

Transport

We at Tondo.oil collect the selected olives in large containers and transport them the same day, at most within a few hours of harvesting, to the mill so that they are immediately pressed.

The Milling

The olives are cold pressed in a high-tech 2-phase oil mill, which has a dedicated organic line.

Filtration

After a brief natural decantation Tondo.Oil is filtered through a series of natural cellulose cartridges.

Conservation

In order to preserve the organoleptic characteristics of extra virgin olive oil intact, it is essential to take care of a sometimes overlooked aspect: that of correct conservation.

The Packaging

The Tondo Oil rests in the storage tanks, maintaining its organoleptic properties unchanged.

Only when necessary is Tondo bottled and the strictly necessary packages prepared.

The Bottles

The Tondo bottles are made of dark glass, to protect it from the sun's rays.

The anti-spill cap, as required by law, is made of aluminium, avoiding the plastic capsule, with a view to environmental sustainability.

The bottle formats are:

100 ml : ideal for small gifts in accommodation facilities or for wedding favors and to always have the oil at hand, even for transporting it on a plane

250 ml : it is the most convenient format to put on the table

500 ml : the kitchen format, for daily use, of great convenience

Bags in Box

Tondo Evo in the 3 and 5 L formats is contained in bag in boxes instead of the traditional metal can: WHY?

1) The oil is protected from the air and therefore from oxidation, because the internal multi-layer vacuum bag of the bag in box compresses as the oil is drawn and the dispenser tap is equipped with a valve which prevents air reflux;

2) the bag in box does not require decanting of the oil, unlike the can which, once opened, must be completely emptied and decanted into the bottles;

3) The bag in box protects the oil from temperature changes thanks to the cardboard container which creates an insulating air chamber around the bag that contains it;

4) the bag in box is as solid and resistant as a can, but unlike this one it does not get dented and does not risk rusting;

5) the bag in box eliminates waste, as the oil is poured down to the last drop; furthermore it does not get dirty, as the tap is equipped with a spring system that closes it suddenly without spilling oil on the floor.

The Shipping

Tondo Oil can be shipped all over the world, thanks to the use of international express shippers and the use of suitable packaging, which preserves its integrity.
