Herdade Do Esporão Galega Olive Oil 50CL

Due to the adverse conditions, we will soon see a specific advance in maturation. It was a tropical agricultural year and the soils revealed their water reserves to be completely reestablished, important for these rain-fed olive groves. The harvest was concentrated in the months of October and November 2021, thus guaranteeing the exceptional quality of the olives.

Olives of the Galega variety are transported and received at the Esporão mill, in Reguengos de Monsaraz, a few hours after harvest and are immediately processed. Transmission begins with the rapid grinding of the fruits followed by a passage through the active exchanger, a system that shortens the transmission time and preserves the aromas of this variety. The mass is centrifuged and, mechanically, the oil is separated from the olive pomace, with the oil immediately filtered and packaged. Tolerance is made to cold, at a maximum temperature of 24ºC.
