Herdade Do Esporão Olive Oil Selection 50CL

The 2021 agricultural year was a rainy year. High temperatures during spring promoted an early economy and, consequently, an advance in change. There were high productions even in rainfed olive groves, which benefited from the availability of water in the soil. The olives were harvested in October and November 2021, in order to obtain greener olives, which results in a complex and harmonious olive oil.

The olives are received and separated by variety at the Esporão mill, a few hours after harvesting and immediately processed. Extraction begins with a quick grinding of the fruits followed by a passage through the active exchanger, a system that shortens the extraction time and preserves the aromas of the varieties that characterize this oil. The mass is centrifuged and, mechanically, the oil is separated from the olive pomace, with the oil immediately filtered and packaged. Extraction is done cold, at a maximum temperature of 24ºC.
