The production of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) is making its way in Coto Bajo. In the middle of the olive harvesting season, we want to take you by the hand through the fascinating journey from our olive grove to the bottle. Let’s discover together the art behind each step and the dedication that guarantees an exceptional EVOO.
The olive grove: Where oil production begins
At the heart of our process is the olive grove, a symphony of olive trees that dance in the wind. Here, the olives, our green treasure, grow under the warm Mediterranean sun. The choice of the olive variety and its careful management are key to the final quality of the EVOO.
Harvesting, a crucial moment, is carried out mechanically, preserving the integrity of the olives as much as possible. Each hand that caresses the branches is imbued with ancestral knowledge, selecting only the olives at their optimum point of ripeness. This is the first step to guarantee an exceptional EVOO.
After harvesting, the olives travel directly to the mill, where milling takes place. This mechanical process releases the essential juices that contain the unique flavors and aromas of the olives. The blend of olives determines the complexity of our EVOO, creating a perfect balance.
Oil extraction is an art in itself. We use modern presses that respect the temperature to extract the liquid gold without compromising its nutritional properties. This cold extraction method is essential to preserve the antioxidants and freshness that characterize our EVOO.
After extraction, the oil undergoes a decanting process. This step eliminates impurities and residues, guaranteeing a pure and crystalline EVOO. The patience in this process translates into the transparency and exceptional quality that you find in every bottle of Coto Bajo.
In our mill, the expertise of our producers is combined with modern technology. Each batch is meticulously tested to ensure that it meets our standards of excellence. Tasting, a sensory ritual, determines the complexity of flavors and aromas found in each bottle of our EVOO.
Each bottle of Coto Bajo is the result of an artisanal process that celebrates the richness of our olive grove. From planting to bottling, each step is an expression of our commitment to quality and tradition.
At Coto Bajo, the Extra Virgin olive oil production process is more than routine; it is a celebration of the land and a commitment to excellence.
