Extra Virgin Olive Oil

The 2024 agricultural year had lower temperatures and higher precipitation compared to the previous year. The winter recorded mild temperatures and plentiful rains, allowing for the replenishment of soil water reserves and promoting the healthy development of the olive groves.

The harvest started in October, amidst plentiful rains, which particularly benefited the rain fed olive groves. The process took place until the end of the year, ensuring a cold extraction of olive oils with distinct sensory profiles, representative of the olive varieties and terroirs that make up Esporão´s range of olive oils.

Shortly after harvest, the olives are shipped to the Esporão mill in Reguengos de Monsaraz where cold extraction immediately begins at room temperatures never exceeding 27ºC (80.6ºF). The fruit is rapidly ground and run through a heat exchanger to shorten extraction time and preserve the aromas. A centrifuge mechanically separates the pomace from the oil that is promptly filtered and packaged.
