The Process
Our olives are selected and collected at the best momento of ripeness
Selecting the land
Within the groves, we select the areas of land where the olives are of the best quality. These areas may vary from year to year.
Picking
We select the olives tree by tree and pick them with an inverted umbrella vibrator to protect the fruit from being bruised.
Transport
We transport the olives to the almazara press in less than two hours, in small containers.
Milling
We use a double grid mill to press our olives, with reduced speed to keep the paste from heating.
Malaxation
Our malaxation process is done in a refrigerated, hermetically sealed unit with no added water, at a temperature of approximately 21 degrees.
Decanting
Our separation process is done with a vertical centrifuge. We add no water during this process.
Filtering
This important step for the subsequent preservation of the oil is done with cellulose plates.
Preservation
We preserve the oil in stainless steel drums in an inert atmosphere (with nitrogen) at a controlled temperature.
Bottling
We bottle on demand, injecting nitrogen into the bottles to preserve the taste of our oils.
