The olives for this EVOO are harvested at its optimum ripeness moment, allowing us to obtain an exceptional complexity of aromas. The groves are monitored, fruit in different plots are analysed and only those with the best qualities are selected for our 5 Elementos Gran Selección.

This is a very limited and exclusive edition of out of the ordinary oil that is without a doubt, one of the best EVOO in the world.
These oils are crafted from selected Finca La Pontezuela, estate grown, Picual, Cornicabra, Arbequinaand Hojiblanca olive varieties. They are harvested with care in the first hours of the day and milled immediately. It only takes a few hours from when the olive is on the tree and when it is transformed into juice, olive oil. This is key to preserving the natural properties in an authentic fruit juice. Our mill, just a few metres from our grove, permits us to obtain this high quality EVOO.
It is filtered after being extracted, allowing us to eliminate small particles of moisture and impurities. This process helps to increase the oxidative stability of EVOO (shelf life). These particles can begin to ferment over time and affect the quality of the product. After filtering, it is stored in small tanks containing nitrogen. The nitrogen acts as an inert barrier that keeps the oil from coming in contact with oxygen. These tanks are strategically positioned in our air-conditioned cellar, to avoid contact with light, oxygen and high temperatures – all factors that can deteriorate its organoleptic properties.
