HARVEST

Weather conditions led to unusually early ripening, while plentiful rains completely replenished the soil’s water reserves. This led to a generous harvest, especially in the rainfed groves. The harvest took place between October and November 2023.

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 24°C (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.
