The primary objectives of the association are the improvement of its quality and traceability standards monitored through an internal observatory and the expansion of its network of stakeholders to guarantee the best conditions for preserving the quality of Extra Virgin Olive Oils from the field to the consumers’ table, with training and qualification programs for suppliers and distributors.

Certifications

Passion and commitment always pay off, for this reason, Olearia Desantis boasts of six certifications: BRC, ISO 14001, IFS, IGP, DOP and BIO

The BRC GS (Global food safety standard) is a global certification standard for the safety of agri-food products required by the Anglo-Saxon markets and currently adopted by more than 22,000 sites in more than 130 countries.
It is used to assess and ensure that food produced by large retailers complies with minimum food safety quality standards. It has the foundation in HACCP and standardizes the working environment and product and process controls.

ISO 14001, used worldwide, is the most recognized international standard for environmental management systems. It provides organisations with a framework through which they can proactively identify and understand the environmental aspects of their activities, products and services and associated environmental impacts so as to ensure compliance with applicable laws and thereby limit pollution and continuously improve its performance.

The IFS Food (International Food Standard) is an international product and process standard to assess a food manufacturer’s ability to produce safe, authentic and quality products in accordance with legal requirements and customer specifications. It supports companies in meeting the growing demands for market transparency and traceability and helps improve product integrity and increase efficiency. It is the reference standard for conducting audits of distributors' brand product suppliers.

The acronym PGI (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) focuses on production techniques and territorial constraints. The abbreviation identifies a product originating in a region and a country whose quality, reputation and characteristics can be traced back to its geographical origin and of which at least one stage of production, processing and processing takes place in the defined area.

The abbreviation PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) refers to a product originating in a region and a country whose qualities are exclusively linked to a geographical environment. The production process, processing and processing of the product must take place entirely in a clearly defined geographical area.

The organic certification, issued by a competent body, guarantees consumers that the olives used come from olive groves where only natural fertilizers are used.
