OUR PRODUCTS

Native variety of the Valencian Community, originally from Alicante, where it is most widespread in the regions of L’Alcoià and El Comtat. The trees are of medium-low vigour, upright, very productive and regular in the harvesting. The leaf is quite short and flat, with a widening towards the end and a greenish-grey colour. It resists drought well and withstands frosts. It ripens slowly and fall easily, which makes it difficult to harvest by machine.

The fruit has a rooted shape and a whitish colour which turns yellow and reddish or purplish as ripening progresses. Its olives are used for oil, obtaining very good quality oil.

MAKING OUR QUALITY OLIVE OIL

Early ripening, we harvest between the last week of October and the first week of November. Even though it is resistant to detachment, it is harvested with mechanical vibrators with inverted umbrellas or by hand.

It is taken to the mill to be milled in the morning, a few hours after harvesting so that it does not lose its best organoleptic characteristics. It is milled a few hours after collection and the whole process of beating, centrifuging and decanting is carried out, always below 27ºC, in order to maintain all its qualities.

The filtering process is carried out in two phases with cellulose filters. In the first week, a roughing is done with a lower density filter to eliminate small remains of pulp and stone and in the second week it is done with a finer filter and it is ready to be stored in the tanks until it is bottled. In the cellar we vacuum pack in Bag in Box tanks that protect the oil from light and oxygen, which are the two factors that deteriorate the oil the most. The cellar is kept between 15 and 20ºC, avoiding temperature fluctuations that could alter the quality of the oil.

A variety native to the Valencian Community, it is the most widely cultivated. The trees are vigorous and upright, productive, leafy and long-lived. In rain fed conditions, it can be a little stunted. The leaves are narrow and elongated, silvery green with a whitish underside. It resists well to drought and withstands light frosts.

It ripens slowly and slowly, letting the ripe fruit fall easily, so it should be harvested when green or at the turning stage. Its olives are used both for dressing and for oil, obtaining a very good quality oil.

Due to its early and staggered ripening, we harvest in the second half of October. It is harvested with mechanical inverted umbrella shakers or by hand.

This variety originates from Jaén and is the most widely cultivated in Spain. The tree is of medium vigour and open bearing, with an elongated, medium-sized leaf. It has a high productivity and is not very neighbourly.

It is early maturing, with low resistance to detachment, which facilitates mechanised harvesting. It is used for oil production.

MAKING OUR QUALITY OLIVE OIL

Due to its early ripening, we harvest in the second half of October. It is harvested with mechanical vibrators with inverted umbrellas or by hand.

It is taken to the mill to be milled in the morning, a few hours after harvesting so that it does not lose its best organoleptic characteristics. It is milled shortly after collection and the whole process of beating, centrifuging and decanting is carried out, always below 27ºC, in order to maintain all its qualities.

The filtering process is carried out in two phases with cellulose filters. In the first week, a roughing is done with a filter of lower density to eliminate small remains of pulp and bone and in the second week it is done with a finer filter and it is ready to be stored in the tanks until it is packaged. In the cellar we vacuum pack in Bag in Box tanks that protect the oil from light and oxygen, which are the two factors that deteriorate the oil the most. The cellar is kept between 15 and 20ºC, avoiding temperature fluctuations that could alter the quality of the oil.

One of the distinguishing characteristics of these monumental trees is that they are not usually of a single variety. Among the branches of the same tree we can usually find two or three varieties, even four or five in more exceptional cases.

Although the most widespread is the native Mançanella de Vilallonga, this is combined with others typical of the area such as the Blanqueta, the Alfafara, the Genovesa, the Cuquello, the Grossal and others unknown to us that sprout from the lower parts of the old trunks. So in this case we cannot talk about the characteristics and the size of the tree, but rather admire its robustness, its obvious adaptation to these lands and discover its varietal diversity that gives it different shapes and colours.
