At this stage, the oil molecules are grouped together to form small drops, ensuring the preservation of aromatic compounds and minimising the risk of oxidation processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Recepci\u00f3n de aceituna en Son Mesquidassa, Mallorca\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_ia5Bp-rnrc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The paste obtained is a mixture in which the oil must be separated from the rest.

This ensures the proper extraction of the extra virgin oil, which can then be tasted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Molienda aceite oliva en Son Mesquidassa, Mallorca\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a-5lqIU45w8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to eliminate any microscopic remains from the oil, which could eventually impair its quality, the liquid is filtered and subsequently stored in our cellar in <strong>stainless steel tanks<\/strong> in an inert atmosphere and at a constant temperature of 18\u00baC \u2013 20\u00baC for better preservation. The final steps include bottling and marketing. The quality of a good olive oil lies mainly in the rapid processing of the fruit.
