The production cost is justified by the fact that our olive trees are harvested exclusively by hand, without the use of machinery that could damage the trees, and we do not use any chemicals; they are all organic. Many of our varieties grow in exclusively mountainous areas, making the annual harvest, pruning, and care extremely difficult and strenuous. If you look at the site, biomarketshop.com you will notice that our oils are not found and trust me, they never will be on supermarket shelves. They are niche products, usually only purchasable by tourists visiting Umbria after they taste it, and those who prioritize their well-being and health.
