Apollo Wins Gold in NY

Striving For The Best!

Here at Apollo, we’re always striving to improve the quality of our olive oil.  Last year, TEM, the Italian manufacturer of our unique milling equipment (located in Florence, Italy), developed a much more efficient and effective way to extract the valuable nutrients from the olives.  So, we jumped at the chance, and sent our centrifugal decanter drum back to Italy for the ingenious design change.

This season we’ve been using the completely upgraded and retooled decanter, and experiencing stunning results. Not only have the yields increased, but much more importantly, the oil emerging from the decanter is much cleaner, greatly improving the quality of the last milling step, filtering for clarity.  The whole process produces oils higher in polyphenols, and with much less oxidation. 

Our pursuit of higher quality oil never ends!
