Unlike olive oils from other producers, Saint Supply olive oil undergoes a thorough, multi-step milling process to ensure that exceptional quality and taste are poured into every bottle. These labor-intensive steps are essential for preserving the oil’s nutrient-dense qualities and precious aromas.

Olive trees of the same variety located in the same geographical region can produce surprisingly different levels of polyphenols. That's why Saint Supply works with a team of agronomists to determine which trees are just right for producing the highest possible quality of olive oil. Each organic olive is handpicked early in the harvesting season, still green and unripe and therefore at peak polyphenolic potency. The olives are then carefully transported to the mill within three hours after harvesting. While this selective process results in lower volumes, it is necessary for achieving both higher polyphenolic content and a superior extra virgin olive oil.

Churning the olives at 71.6-77°F (cold pressing) is crucial for preserving the essence of each polyphenol compound and phyto-nutrient. The freshly extracted olive oil is then stored in stainless steel tanks that are kept within a controlled environment where light and temperature are strictly monitored. This delicate process is vital for conserving the oil's vibrant flavors and health-boosting polyphenols.

Each bottle contains the fresh juice of approximately 1,100 olives - all handpicked and bottled with the care and wisdom of our ancestors. To preserve the precious contents, every measure is taken to protect the Living Elixir from the damaging effects of heat, moisture, light and oxidation. This includes filtering out any residual water droplets, painting every bottle to block out light, and sealing the headspace with a protective atmosphere.
