Valmi Elbasan
Valmi Olive Oil. Pure Tradition.
Why Choose Valmi
Cold Extraction <27°C
Modern continuous-cycle machinery keeps the olive paste strictly below 27°C throughout extraction, preserving the natural antioxidants and the authentic flavor profile of every bottle.
100% Hand-Picked
Every olive is harvested by hand at the perfect moment of maturity — when they transition from green to violet — protecting the fruit and maximising polyphenol concentration.
No Synthetic Pesticides
Our groves are tended year-round under rigorous oversight — without synthetic pesticides — respecting the soil, the trees, and the purity of every drop.
Pressed in 24 Hours
Harvested olives reach our press within 24 hours to minimise oxidation, keep acidity below 0.3%, and deliver the freshest possible result in every bottle.
GI Certified by WIPO
Valmi holds a protected Geographical Indication — registered with the World Intellectual Property Organization and officially published in the EU Official Journal.
Farmers' Cooperative
Founded in 2001 by a group of Elbasan farmers, we've grown into a vital regional hub — combining 25+ years of agricultural wisdom with modern European production standards.
The Valmi Method
Since 2001, we have combined the region's rich farming wisdom with modern cold-extraction technology to ensure every drop is perfect.
Cultivation & Collection
Our groves in the Elbasan region are maintained year-round with rigorous oversight and sustainable agricultural practices — without synthetic pesticides. When November arrives, we harvest at the perfect moment of maturity when the olives turn from green to violet, sacrificing quantity for the highest concentration of polyphenols and flavor.
- Hand-picked to protect the fruit and preserve integrity
- Harvested at peak maturity — the green-to-violet transition
- No synthetic pesticides, no shortcuts
Milling & Cold Extraction
To ensure low acidity and maximum freshness, our olives are milled within 24 hours of harvest. Our continuous-cycle machinery keeps the temperature strictly below 27°C, extracting the oil without water or solvents — preserving the natural antioxidants and the distinct, authentic flavor of Valmi.
"We process rapidly to ensure acidity levels remain consistently below 0.3% — far below the 0.8% maximum standard required for Extra Virgin classification."
Storage & Bottling
Once extracted, the oil is stored in stainless steel tanks shielded from light and oxygen to maintain peak freshness. We allow it to settle naturally before bottling. Our dark glass bottles are chosen specifically to block UV light — ensuring that when you open a bottle of Valmi, it tastes exactly as fresh as the day it was pressed.

Strength in Cooperation.
The Federata Bujqesore Elbasan began with a simple goal: build a world-class olive oil facility that serves the entire farming community. Over two decades, it evolved into far more — a symbol of regional pride, quality, and cooperation.
By 2008, the facility was fully licensed for the complete production cycle: from cultivation to pressing, bottling, and export. We continuously reinvest in modern technology to meet and exceed European standards.
Today, we stand as one of the few facilities implementing the absolute best practices for Extra Virgin Olive Oil — not just producers, but guardians of quality.
