PROTECTIVE PACKAGING
They use special UV-protective glass bottles to prevent the degradation of potency for utmost performance and work to offset environmental impacts with professional organizations.
PLANT COMMUNITIES
Through bio-research, they know plants work as a team, forming synergies and friendships, sharing strategies to protect and strengthen each other. Honouring nature’s ecosystem and optimize the potency of nutrients they produce by allowing them to grow wild and harvesting them collectively.
CROP DIVERSIFICATION
They recognize the importance of crop diversification and demand for sustainable farming that respect the natural ecosystem and protects plant biodiversity. Climate change is a major factor of biodiversity loss, therefore they make sure to follow key guidelines for crop diversity to mitigate the effects of climate change and loss of biodiversity.
SOLAR ENERGY
Furtuna Skin proudly implemented a new Solar Energy System - the photovoltaic park 18KW at the end of 2020. This new system will help yield a substantial amount of energy to run their medium-sized olive oil mill on the La Furtuna Estate.
EFFORTLESS IRRIGATION
Blessed by its proximity to nearby Monte Barraù, all of their olive trees are naturally irrigated by the mountain’s pure water spring. This water is not only nutrient-rich, but also it is some of the cleanest water in the world.
WILD FORAGING
Harvesting is done by hand with great attention paid to preserving the plant itself and the plants of the community. During a harvest, plants are not damaged and roots are not eradicated, so that these botanicals can continue to live naturally at their highest potency.
ZERO WASTE POLICIES
They utilize every part of their plants so that no nutritious active part of the olive goes to waste. From the olive tree alone, using the oil to make ultra-nourishing base, the leaves to make antioxidant-rich olive leaf water, the pits to make a naturally exfoliating powder.
SOIL PRESERVATION
The land and the surrounding hundred miles is 100% free of pesticides. They reuse the processing waste from the mill as a fertilizer. The ground olives are used as a soil conditioner and is a a key part of the agronomic utilization of vegetation water and pomace. The land has not been touched for more than 400 years, so the plants that grow are exceptionally rich in nutrition.
