Production
Their cultivation process has benefited from the know-how of three generations and the modern technologies derived from research and development by well-known universities and agricultural research centers. The trees follow a continuous hedge system, granting maximum sun exposure and light to the foliage, which enhances the production of more fatty acids and ensures the homogeneous ripeness of the olives.
The production process, from the olives in the olive grove to the obtaining of the oil, involves the following stages: The fruit is harvested in mid-October, which increases the fruity taste of the oil but reduces the quantity of oil obtained. Olives are harvested at night to maintain the low temperature of the fruit just before extraction, thus following a true cold extraction process (<71.6°F). The result is a pure, concentrated elixir of olives. Olives are harvested with over-the-row machinery. This allows us to pick all the olives in one day, thus preserving the homogeneous quality of our final product. Our olives are pressed in less than 2 hours after picking them.
