Only the oil obtained and produced by olives coming from biological agriculture is biologic.
The activities of olive harvesting, preservation, extraction, preservation and packaging are controlled. In fact, to obtain the trademark “product obtained by biologic agriculture” all workers (olive growers, olive-press operators, bottler and trades) are subject to the control regime of a body recognised by the State; in our case it is the Authority for the Control of CCPB Biologic Products.
The operations carried out in the firm, the goods and used raw material movements have to be recorded on suitable registers.
The controls are used not only to avoid frauds and false competition, but also to establish a relation of mutual trust between producer and consumer. |
