Controlled atmosphere, unchanging quality.
The birth of an excellent olive oil doesn't end with pressing. Preserving its delicate organoleptic characteristics requires conditions of absolute protection from its three great enemies: light, oxygen, and heat.
The Underground "Vault"
For the storage of our olive oil, we utilize 19 private underground tanks—an infrastructure that allows us to control the environment with absolute precision:
- Constant Temperature: The underground location provides natural insulation, ensuring the olive oil remains steadily below 18°C. This cold storage is vital for the preservation of phenols and aromas until the moment of consumption.
- Protection from Oxidation: Our tanks prevent any contact with light. By strictly controlling the headspace above the oil, oxygen exposure is minimized, perfectly sealing in the freshness.
Bottling with Respect
- International IFS Certification: Our facility operates under the strict IFS protocol, the leading global standard for food safety and quality. This guarantees that every drop of Ploumi olive oil is produced, packaged, and controlled according to the highest specifications set by the global market.
- Cleanliness & Precision: Every bottle undergoes strict checks before filling, in an environment of perfectly controlled conditions.
- Protective Packaging: We choose packaging materials that continue the work of our tanks, protecting the content from light and oxidation, ensuring the product's shelf life in your home.
Quality is often lost in transit. Not here. At Ploumi, our IFS-certified process ensures that no vitamins or aromas are lost along the way. We deliver our olive oil exactly as we taste it at the source: Vibrant and authentic.
