The Art of Olive Harvesting at BeqajCo

This autumn, BeqajCo successfully completed another season of olive harvesting, ensuring that our premium extra virgin olive oil maintains its exceptional quality. As always, the harvest is a crucial time for us, and we meticulously timed the picking to capture the olives at their peak ripeness. Here's an overview of the process:

1. Timing:

This year's harvest took place in the autumn, when the olives were perfectly ripe. Early in the season, we harvested green olives to produce oils with a robust and peppery flavor, while later in the season, we picked more mature olives for a fruitier and milder oil. 2. Hand-Picking with Care: At BeqajCo, we stayed true to our tradition of hand-picking the olives, ensuring that each one was carefully selected to avoid damage. This artisanal approach preserves the integrity of the fruit and guarantees that only the highest quality olives go into our oil.

3. Fast and Efficient Processing:

After picking, the olives were immediately processed at our facility, maintaining their natural freshness and nutritional value. This quick processing is key to preserving the flavor and health benefits of our olive oil. The autumn harvest is more than just an agricultural task for us; it is a time to reflect on the connection between nature, family, and tradition. Every bottle of BeqajCo olive oil captures the essence of this season and the care we put into each step.
