Cobrançosa, Arbequina

Harvest

Weather conditions led to especially early ripening, while plentiful rains completely replenished the soil’s water reserves and increased production. The olives were harvested at optimal ripeness in October 2021.

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.
