Features

• The entire process of extracting oil from fresh, healthy olives is carried out below 27ºC, which allows its organoleptic properties to remain unchanged.
• Extra virgin olive oil from early harvest has exceptional organoleptic characteristics: a more powerful flavour and a truly spectacular fruitiness. In addition, it usually has lower acidity and peroxide levels (which measure the degree of oxidation) and a higher concentration of polyphenols and natural antioxidants, making it a healthier oil.
• The Regulatory Council of the Estepa Protected Designation of Origin establishes the highest quality requirements of all the Denominations, guaranteeing the high quality of the protected oils.
• Implementation of a system of agricultural techniques for olive cultivation and productive oil extraction, respectful of the environment and certified as Organic Production.
