Extra Virgin Olive Oil
about the extra virgin olive oil
-
The 2024 agricultural year temperature was mild and there was high precipitation. In winter, this precipitation replenished the soil's water reserves of the rain fed olive groves.
The harvest took place in October with olives at various stages of ripeness – green and turning colour – resulting in an olive oil that reflects its origin.
-
Shortly after harvest, the olives are received and separated by variety at the Esporão mill, 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, a system that shortens extraction time and preserves the aromas of this olive oil.
The paste is centrifuged, and the pomace is mechanically separated from the olive oil that is immediately filtered and packaged.
