Harvest

2021 year was a rainy agricultural year. A warm spring bought about early flowering and ripening. High yields were recorded even in the rainfed groves thanks to the generous soil water content. In order to ensure a more complex and harmonious oil, the olives were harvested in October and November 2021.

Olive Processing

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.
