Extra Virgin Olive Oil
about the extra virgin olive oil
-
The 2025 growing season saw higher-than-average rainfall, with a wet winter benefiting the development of the olive groves, particularly those under dry-farmed conditions.
Harvest took place throughout October and November, in intermittently wet conditions, with olives at different stages of ripeness, resulting in an oil that expresses a strong sense of place.
-
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.
