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 began in October and took place until the end of November. Due to this we were able to harvest the olives at different states of maturity, obtaining a complex and harmonious olive oil representative of this harvest.
-
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.
