All our oil comes from olives which we have harvested ourselves. This allows us to control the harvest, the time taken until they are processed and therefore, the final quality of the extra virgin olive oil.

In the case of the LEGADO range, we only use olives of the Hojiblanca varietal. These are harvested early using the traditional hand-pole beating method, catching the olives as they fall from the trees; a process done at the time of day when the temperatures are lower. This early oil specifically comes from the oldest olive trees, located at higher ground on the rolling hills of the Hacienda de Colchado estate. These olive trees only grow on higher ground, where they are at the mercy of the weather, suffering the harshest conditions. These trees are only visited for pruning and finally at harvest time, when they present us with their delightful riches.
