Raw Certified Organic Olives

We are happy to introduce three new raw & organic premium-quality olives.

Packaged with the utmost care in glass jars, our raw and organic olives are certified organic and grown on an exclusive organic bio-permaculture farm and hand harvested & packaged without chemicals or pesticides of any kind.

Your raw and organic cuisine can now be really raw and organic! Our Raw & Organic Sundried Black Olives are even cured without salt, so you no longer need to compromise if you are on a no-salt diet.

If you are a purist looking for organic food products that are as pure, natural, and as close to how Mother Nature makes them as possible, then look no further: these are the very best olives out there, period. Organic production also means agricultural practices that are sustainable and more in tune with the fragile condition of this planet of ours. Furthermore, all of our raw organic olives are grown and processed in an exclusively organic farm so they never came near chemicals or pesticides like some so-called "organic olives" that are grown in the vicinity of and processed in the same facility as conventionally grown olives and other food products.

As our customers know, we at Rawganique.com routinely comb the planet looking for truly sustainable products and offer only the most exceptional products that we have tested and tried. We have held off offering olives up till now, despite repeated customer requests, because we have not been able to find olives that meet our rigorous standards of cultivation and processing. But now, we're finally able to offer you premium raw & organic olives of the very highest quality possible. Enjoy!

History of our raw organic olives: On a high desert plain just 100 miles south of Lima, a 50-hectare plantation was established in the late eighties by Jose Vico & Family and now presently employ over 30 families. The olive products are grown, harvested, and processed with extraordinary care and do not include any chemical intervention whatsoever. Mr. Vico's farm has never used any chemicals or insecticides. The fertilizers are naturally grown throughout the plantation to create a rich bed of humus and a permaculture environment has been created with the integration of Eucalyptus, Casuarina, Pomegranates and Citrus varieties, thereby maintaining the highest degree of bio diversity possible.

The olives used in all of our products have been hand harvested at the peak of perfection and maturity. They are cold washed and hand selected for size and most appropriate use. Our olives are certified organic by the BioLatina Organization in Lima, Peru, which is IFOAM and USDA/NOP approved and in compliance with EEC Regulation 2092/91 "Organic Production of Agricultural Products.

Our raw and organic olives are also certified Kosher for Passover & Parve by Rabbi Guillermo Bronstein (President of the Asamblea Rabinica Latinoamericana), Certification Contract #5761 0 5763.
