The 2021 harvest, which began in mid-October, is characterised by the drought in the last months of maturation, which has conditioned the total production per tree and the profile of the more mature oils produced.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After the grape harvest, we begin another of the most intense times of the year: the olive harvest. This campaign, which this year we started in mid-October, comes after a year in which the winter snow and the spring rains allowed the olive trees to develop correctly in accordance with our dry conditions. Summer, with moderate temperatures (except for a few specific periods) and especially the lack of water during the last months of ripening (especially in September), will mark a campaign in which a lesser development of the fruit is expected in different areas and an early maturation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Thus, the sensory profiles of the oils and the higher than usual extraction yields at this time result in a harvest with a significant reduction in production and oils with more mature profiles. They are complex oils, a reflection of this organic and rainfed agriculture, with green-ripe or significantly ripe fruity profiles, the result of the rapid ripening of the fruits, especially in areas with more water stress.<\/p>\n

On an organoleptic level, these are oils with a fruity profile of ripe olives, with hints of almond, artichoke, fennel and a touch of bitterness and spice, which reflect the character of this Arbequina from dryland agriculture of a certain altitude.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
