The Harvest Season of 2023 is upon us. How does it look so far, and what are your expectations for this year’s harvest in terms of quality and yield?
We’re very excited about the 2023 harvest season. It has just commenced, and the early signs are incredibly promising. The weather has been favorable, and notably, we haven’t observed any signs of olive mosquitoes, which bodes well. This absence implies that the acidity levels will likely be low, and the antioxidant load in our olives will be high. We anticipate a harvest of exceptional quality and taste.
The olive oil industry has witnessed a surge in prices globally. How is Oleificio Timperio responding to this trend while maintaining the quality of your products and keeping them affordable for consumers?
The rise in global olive oil prices is indeed a concern for the industry. However, at Oleificio Timperio, our commitment to providing top-quality products at affordable prices remains steadfast. We understand the importance of making our olive oil accessible to a wide audience. To counter the impact of rising prices, we’ve optimised our production processes, focused on efficiency, and carefully managed our costs. Our goal is to ensure that our customers can continue to enjoy our high-quality olive oil without a significant strain on their budgets.

Our olive groves are nurtured with utmost care, employing sustainable and organic practices to ensure the health and vitality of our olive trees. We meticulously monitor every stage of the production process, from cultivation and harvesting to pressing and bottling. Quality control is paramount, and we invest in state-of-the-art technology and employ skilled professionals to guarantee the purity, freshness, and superior taste of our extra virgin olive oil. Our commitment to excellence has been the cornerstone of our reputation, and we spare no effort to maintain it.
Could you shed some light on Oleificio Timperio’s sustainability initiatives and how they contribute to the overall integrity of your products and brand?
