Data for the custom card:

This variety is native to the Montes de Toledo region and cultivated between the provinces of Ciudad Real and the Community of Madrid. The name Cornicabra is derived from the peculiar shape of the fruit, it being similar to a horn. For this reason it is also known by other names like Corval, Longar, Cornita, Corriente, Cornezuelo, Cornetillo or Cuernecillo.

It is the second variety, by surface area to be cultivated in this region after Picual, and the third, in terms of production yields. The EVOO extracted from this olive is the only one certified by the Montes de Toledo Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and is also authorized by the Campo de Calatrava y Campo de Montiel PDO.

The olive is medium in size and has an elongated, somewhat curved, asymmetrical shape. On one side it curves outward and on the other it is quite flat. This variety has a later ripening compared to the other varieties.

The high polyphenol content of Cornicabra gives it a very high shelf life and will maintain its properties in our kitchens for a lot longer.

Harvest date: October / November, early harvest.

Irrigation: Part of the production uses an automated system with humidity sensors while in another area the trees are rain-fed.

Collection system: Tree shakers are used to help fruits to detach directly from the tree without touching the ground. Hitting the tree with poles is avoided which helps to maintain our trees healthy.

Harvesting temperature: Harvesting during high temperatures is avoided. The workday is shortened according to very hot periods (higher than 35°C/ 95ºF).

Time between harvest and milling: Less than 3 hours.

Production system: Continuous two-phase system, cold extraction (below 27°C/ 80ºF), contact with water is minimized.

Filtration: Continuous filtration after the extraction process to remove moisture and impurities that may remain in our olive juice and can shorten shelf life.

Storage: Stainless steel tanks preserved with nitrogen.

Colour: Gold-green.
