What is a pitted oil?
It is called pitted, that type of extra virgin olive obtained with immediate and prior separation of the fruit-stones from the pulp of the olive. That very process is accomplished thanks to the use of the innovative pit removal Moliden-Leone. This machine was designed by Pietro Leone who has pa-tented along with his sons Luigi and Michele a new press system. Upstream of the production pro-cess, this step allows to have at the same time olive pressing and extraction of fruit-stones, from the start ready to be used as fuel in heaters and pellet stoves. The product resulting form the process has a soft taste.
