The elaboration process

The fruit is harvested with the utmost care, through a selection process. From the moment the fruit begins to ripen, a multitude of tests are carried out in the different areas of the estate until the determination of the area and the ideal harvesting time. Harvesting takes place between October 1 and 15, depending on the year and the development of the fruit. Due to the fact that the month of October records daytime temperatures of around 30ºC, the fruit is harvested during the night to ensure that the temperature for harvesting and subsequent milling is below 20ºC

Obtaining the best Extra Virgin Olive Oil is, more than a technique, a ritual. Without thermal oscillations and at the right temperature from the time the fruit is obtained until the extraction of its elixir
