Traceability

Parcel, variety, harvest window, mill date, tank, lot code and pallet — one unbroken chain.

One origin. One lot. One traceable journey.

From the origin of the olives to the final bottle, each ELIXERRA lot is carefully identified throughout its journey. We follow the harvest, variety, milling, analysis and bottling stages to keep a clear record of where each oil comes from and how it was handled.

The chain we keep

01

Parcel

Region, grower, variety mix and grove reference.

02

Harvest

Date, maturity assessment and quantity received.

03

Mill

Milling date and time, malaxation temperature and duration, extraction line.

04

Tank

Storage tank reference, fill date, blend composition where a lot is assembled from several parcels.

05

Analysis

Certificate of analysis attached to the lot, with the retained sample kept.

06

Filling

Bottling date, line, format, and the lot code printed on the pack.

07

Shipment

Pallet and container reference against the commercial and customs documents.

What the lot code on the bottle gives you

Read us the code and we can return the parcel origin, harvest window, mill date, analysis and filling date for that specific batch. That is the practical test of whether a traceability system exists or is merely described.

Withdrawal and recall

Because lots are kept discrete through storage and filling, a quality issue can be isolated to the affected batch rather than an entire shipment. Retained samples let us verify the complaint against what actually left the site.
