About Herdade Do Esporao Organic Bio Extra Vergin Olive Oil

The olives are transported in trailers, delivered to the Esporão olive mill in Reguengos de Monsaraz a few hours after being harvested, and processed immediately. Extraction begins by grinding the fruit rapidIy. After being ground, the resulting paste is chilled. Brief malaxation follows, a system that shortens the extraction time and preserves the distinctive aromas of the variety that characterises this olive oil. The paste is then sent to the decanter where the olive oil is separated from the pomace and water, resulting in an olive oil that still contains some humidity and impurities.The olive oil is cleaned by centrifugation and then immediately filtered and packaged. Because this is an organic olive oil, careful separation is required, from the field to the bottle. Cold extraction process, never exceeding 24°C.
