The summer of 2024 a fire broke out on one of our groves and did serious damage to several trees. This is the situation now six months after the fact.
Even when the trunks are charred and seemingly lifeless, tiny green sprouts emerge from the base, a testament to their survival instincts 💚

Early harvest (around October in the Northern Hemisphere) olives often produce the highest quality EVOO, with bold flavors and higher antioxidant content.

High-quality EVOO has a complex flavor profile, often described as grassy, fruity, peppery, or nutty, with a slight bitterness or pungency.

Single-origin EVOOs are often superior than blends as they reflect the unique terroir and care of a specific region.

Evoo is often sold in dark glass bottles or tins to protect it from light, which can degrade its quality.

To taste genuine EVOO is to taste the resilience of the tree that bears it, standing steadfast against time and storms
