Weather conditions led to an unusually early ripening, while plentiful rains completely replenished the soil’s water reserves, which is essential for these rainfed olives. To ensure the exceptional quality of the fruit the harvest took place in October and November of 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 no higher than 24ºC (75ºF). The fruit is quickly milled and then run through a heat exchanger to shorten extraction time and preserve the aromas. A centrifuge mechanically separates the pomace from the oil that is immediately filtered and packaged. This olive oil is certified by the Agricert entity as Olive Oil with Protected Designation of Origin “Azeites do Norte Alentejano DOP”.
