Selecção Extra Virgin Olive Oil

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 began early, in early October, with some rain benefiting the dry-farmed olive groves, and continued until early December. This allowed us to harvest olives at different stages of ripeness, resulting in a complex and harmonious olive oil, representative of this season.

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 24ºC (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.
