Extra virgin olive oilEarly harvest, picked green

Rain-fed Picual, picked early.

A thread of green oil falls backlit between olive branches; then the grove seen from above, in rows over dry earth; and finally the Sendero la Gloria bottle

One grove, one family, one variety. The oil we have at home, bottled just as it comes off the mill.

How it is made

  1. 01

    Picked green

    While the olives are still green. Considerably less oil per kilo, but this is when the fruit has all its aroma and all its character.

    Picked green
  2. 02

    Milled the same day

    Straight from the grove to the mill, so the fruit never ferments or heats up in the heap. One extra day shows in the glass.

    Same day
  3. 03

    Cold extraction

    Below 27 °C. Warming the paste raises the yield, but it takes with it the very aromas we went looking for.

    < 27 °C

    Every batch tasted

    Analysed and tasted before bottling. If a batch is not up to standard, it does not go out under this label.
