Olive
Tree
-
We
have inherited from our ancestors "the centenary
olive trees", most of them belong to the arbequine
variety. They are not very vigorous trees but very resistant
to the climate that affects this area of the Ebro Lands, with
very hot and dry summers and very cold winters. Their fruits,
the olives, are small but they have an extraordinary quality
because of the juice they contain, "the extra
virgin olive oil".
- The
tradition of the cultivation of these centenary arbequine
olive trees complies with all the rules established by the
Catalan Council of Ecological Agricultural Production. The
olive tree fields, situated near the Mediterranean forest
use the rain water in order to transfer nutrients from the
forest to the olive trees due to our orography of the land,
ie. Slopes and terraces, and moreover to the pruning and the
corresponding cultivation.
- Most
of the farms with Ecological cultivation are situated towards
the South West in order to receive radiations from when the
sun rises until it sets which adds quality to the olives.

Olives
start to ripen at the beginning of November, when it is the harvest
time. Olive tree branches are combed by hand in order to not to
damage the olive tree or its fruits. When olives are about to ripen,
is the best time to obtain an excellent olive juice from agood fruit, "THE EXTRA VIRGIN ORGANIC OLIVE OIL EXTRACTED FROM
THE FIRST PRESSING IN COLD".
