Galega

Harvest

Weather conditions led to especially early ripening, while plentiful rains completely replenished the soil’s water reserves, which key for these rainfed olive groves. In order to ensure the exceptional quality of the fruit, the harvest took place in October and November 2021.

Olive Processing

Shortly after harvest, the Galega olives are shipped to the Esporão mill, in Reguengos de Monsaraz where cold extraction immediately begins. 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.
