Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil

⋅

about the extra virgin olive oil

A complex yet harmonious olive oil, with a good balance of bitter and spice, from certified organic olive groves.

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 harvest started early, at the beginning of October, with some rain benefiting the dry-farmed olive groves, and continued until early December.
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 24°C (75ºF). 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.
