Organic production, respecting nature, biodiversity, and the natural rhythm of the olive grove.

Harvest

Weather conditions led to unusually early ripening, while abundant rainfall replenished the soil’s water reserves. This resulted in a generous harvest, especially in rainfed groves. The harvest took place between October and November 2021.

Olive Processing

Shortly after harvest, the olives are transported to the Esporão mill in Reguengos de Monsaraz. Cold extraction begins immediately, with temperatures never exceeding 24°C. The olives are rapidly ground and processed to preserve aromas, then mechanically separated, filtered, and carefully packaged.

Aroma

Green olive leaf, green coffee beans, cut grass, and green tomatoes.

Palate

Very harmonious, slightly bitter, with a spiciness that develops gradually and a refined finish with notes of green almonds.
