Extra Virgin Olive Oil

about the extra virgin olive oil

A single-varietal made from Cordovil olives, with the bitter and spicy sensations characteristic of Cordovil de Moura, a highly typical olive in the Moura region.

The 2023 agricultural year was hot and dry. During the winter, mild temperatures and high levels of rainfall were recorded. In the spring, abnormally high temperatures affected flowering, leading to significant production losses. The pressure from mild temperatures and high humidity caused the Cordovil harvest to take place quickly during the first half of November, ensuring high quality and resulting in an olive oil that truly represents this variety.
Shortly after harvest, the Cordovil olives are shipped to the Esporão mill in Reguengos de Monsaraz where cold extraction immediately begins at room temperatures no higher than 24ºC (75ºF). The fruit is quickly milled and then run through a heat exchanger to shorten extraction time and preserve the aromas. A centrifuge mechanically separates the pomace from the oil that is immediately filtered and packaged.
