Olive Testing

We cover all aspects of the olive industry, from project development, technical advice to applied research.

Olive Testing

There are many benefits to pre-harvest testing but most importantly it gives growers the opportunity to make the most of their processing – to achieve the optimum amount of oil relevant to the best oil character.

“A big contributor to our success is Modern Olives. They've helped us understand our oils and how the different seasons/varieties impact consumer experience. The annual cost of having Modern Olives test our varieties, is more than compensated for by the increased value of the Rosto brand.”
