Why Gate Natura?
Our olives ripen on the tree for a full year in groves 700 metres up on Mount Ida. We pick them by hand and take them to the stone mill within 24 hours. There is nobody between our groves and your kitchen, and we try to change as little as possible along the way.

From grove to bottle
Harvest
The olives ripen on the tree for a year and are picked by hand between October and December.
Stone mill
Within 24 hours of picking, the olives reach the mill. Granite stones crush and knead them for about 45 minutes.
Press
The paste is spread on coir mats and stacked in the press. The oil first runs off on its own, then the stack is pressed without adding water.
Bottling
Our Early Harvest oil is filtered before bottling. The 2-litre tin and the Reserve range stay unfiltered.
Slowly, between granite stones
The mill at our facility is three large granite stones turning in an oak basin. The olives are crushed and kneaded there for about 45 minutes. The stones turn far more slowly than a metal crusher, so the paste does not heat up much.
