From Tree to Table
Zouitta extra virgin olive oil is the result of olives exclusively grown and harvested on our own estates located in the Taza region. Thanks to strict methods and a quality-controlled process with guaranteed traceability, we offer our consumers exceptional extra virgin olive oil with maximum freshness and benefits.
Olive Selection
The trees in our orchards are specially chosen for the quality of their fruit and productivity.
Zouitta benefits from advanced expertise and techniques in olive cultivation in the Taza region, reflecting our commitment to offering high-quality, natural olive oil.
Hand Harvesting
We handle each of our olives with care and delicacy.
At Zouitta’s estates, we hand-pick each olive, one by one, with the utmost respect for every fruit. This delicate handling, combined with the harvesting of still-green olives, imparts the unique organoleptic characteristics to the final product. Our harvesting techniques rely on the expertise of the Taza region, ensuring exceptional quality. The high-quality fruit yields remarkable olive oil with an intense flavor, and the high antioxidant content ensures its unwavering freshness.
Immediate Processing
We transport our olives to the processing site within an hour of harvesting.
Our extraction site, located on our estates, allows us to reduce the time from olive harvest to oil production to less than half a day.
This extremely short and quick process is central to preserving the maximum quality of Zouitta extra virgin olive oil.
Grinding
Our olives are ground at the right temperature and for a determined duration to preserve all the organoleptic and physicochemical specifics.
We also rely on traditional grinding techniques from the Taza region, which enhances the quality of our olive oil. This step is one of the key stages in obtaining premium-quality Zouitta olive oil.
Storage
The olive oil is stored in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature.
Once our olive oil is extracted and filtered, Zouitta is stored in our stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature to preserve its untouched quality during transport and storage, where it will be directly served to our customers.
