Harvest

2021 was a year marked by large fluctuations in temperature and rainfall in the spring followed by a cooler and wetter summer than normal. The groves benefitted from the water reserves and our Quinta dos Murças olive grove registered record production levels at the harvest in November 2021.

Olive Processing

After the harvest, the olives are received in boxes at the mill where extraction immediately begins. The fruit is rapidly ground in stone mills and then subject to slow, low temperature beating to separate the pulp from the oil, while preserving its aromas. A decanter removes the oil from the pomace before centrifugation discharges moisture and other impurities. Light filtering ensures all the flavors and aromas are retained for packaging.
