These awards must be confirmation that our Mill is doing its job well and the money we have invested has been well spent!
Extracting the oil from the olive can be a delicate process. Done badly, you ruin the oil that you obtain. If you do it well, however, you can manage to extract the oil leaving virtually all the olive's qualities intact...
The core of our Company is our Mill: a company within the company that during years of high production occupies our time far more than the normal activity of packaging and shipping.
Our Mill is a very modern plant, characterized in particular by a temperature-controlled kneading of the olive paste and the two-phased extraction (which means that no water is added to the olive paste): a technique that maintains the polyphenols naturally present in the olives and hence, leads to tastier and more fragrant oils. For 2021-2022 we are planning some new technological updates, such as the installation of a new water-cooled grinder.

A few facts about Olio Calvi
We value high quality
Most years we manage to do a little more than the year before, however, we still remain a small Company.
A Company which we hope can become ever better, in which everything that occurs is observed and approved by the Calvi brothers and where both the quality of the product and customer service is of uptmost importance.
Above all, whatever the question or problem is, you can pick up the phone and ask for Luca or Gianni.
DISCOUNTS
Our prices are always very reasonable and often lower than those offered by other companies for oils which at times are much less worthy.
However, each month you will find special offers on a particular item.
Keep in mind also that quantity discounts are applied on reaching certain order value thresholds.
SERVICE
We care a lot about the level of service and try to be as quick and as precise as possible in dispatching orders.
We usually ship with DHL using specialised boxes that minimise the risk of breakage. In any case, we guarantee the shipment up until delivery, so if anything should break, we will replace it.
Please feel free to contact us for any reason: either by phone or send us an email.
OUR GROUP AT OLIO CALVI
Those who have dealings with us often get to know our employees: either talking with them on the phone or else meeting them in person.
We are pleased to note that many reviews that we recieve on the various internet media emphasize the kindness and the professionalism of those who work for us.
THE TECHNOLOGY
Each year our Company invests in technological upgrades and in keeping the machinery well maintained and updated to meet our needs.
The photo shows the inside of an oil storage tank. We still use the old underground tanks which have the advantage of keeping the oil at a stable temperature throughout the year, however, we have coated them inside with stainless steel in order to guarantee modern cleaning standards.
