Controlled atmosphere, uncompromised quality.
Crafting an exceptional extra virgin olive oil extends far beyond the mill. Protecting its delicate sensory integrity requires absolute defense against three persistent elements: light, oxygen, and temperature spikes.
The Underground "Treasury"
For storage, we maintain 19 proprietary underground tanks—an infrastructure that allows us to regulate the environment with uncompromising precision:
- Stable Temperature: The subterranean setting provides natural thermal insulation, ensuring the olive oil remains consistently below 18°C (64.4°F). This cold-storage environment is critical for preserving delicate polyphenols and fresh aromatics until consumption.
- Oxidation Shield: Our tanks completely block all light exposure. By rigorously managing headspace above the oil, ambient oxygen contact is minimized, sealing in peak freshness and biochemical integrity indefinitely.
Bottled with Care and Integrity
IFS International Certification: Our bottling plant operates under the stringent IFS Food protocol—the benchmark global standard for food safety and quality assurance. This guarantees that every drop of Ploumi extra virgin olive oil is produced, packaged, and verified to the highest specifications demanded by international markets.
Purity & Precision: Every bottle undergoes rigorous multi-point inspection before filling, taking place in a sterile, strictly controlled clean-room environment.
Protective Packaging: We select premium packaging materials engineered to extend the protection of our subterranean storage tanks—shielding the oil from ambient light and oxidation to preserve active polyphenols and peak flavor all the way to your table.
All too often, true quality fades between the harvest and the table. Not with PLOUMI. Backed by stringent IFS Food certification, our single-estate process ensures every protective nutrient and volatile aroma remains completely untouched. We deliver each bottle just as it flows from our presses: pure, vibrant, and alive.
