The meticulous process of transforming olives into oil typically takes place from late September to early November. Farmers carefully monitor their trees, waiting for the fleeting moment when olives are perfectly ripe but not overmature. Handpicking, while time-consuming and labor-intensive, allows for selective harvesting and ensures that only the finest olives make it to the mill. This careful attention to detail is crucial for producing highrest-quality olive oil.

Their commitment to traditional methods, including the use of a stone mill for gentle crushing, ensures that their extra virgin olive oils are of the highest possible quality. They specialize in monocultivar oils, made from single olive varieties like Peranzana and Coratina, each offering distinct flavors that reflect Puglia's unique terrior. Frantoio Galantino also sticks to time-honored techniques, focusing on sustainability and the preservation of biodiversity in their olive groves.
