Cultivation
Our grove is protected from intensive farming, with a generous 20 m² of space per tree, maintained without weedkillers or synthetic chemicals, with the natural control of the olive fruit fly as our only treatment.
HEMALOJE · COBRANÇOSA
Our olive oil, from fruit to bottle.
Olive oil made from 100% Cobrançosa olives, with pronounced green fruitiness and notes of fresh-cut grass, grown and produced through our family project.

Careful cultivation, hand harvesting.
Harvesting
From mid-October, we carry out an early harvest, entirely by hand and as a family. We pick only healthy olives directly from the tree and never collect fruit that has fallen to the ground, to avoid any spoilage.
Extraction
Freshness is the secret of excellence. Less than 24 hours after picking, our 100% Cobrançosa olives are taken to the mill for mechanical extraction by cold first pressing. This traditional method, free of heat and without any additive, extracts the pure juice of the fruit while preserving the integrity of its nutrients, antioxidants and intense aromas.
Bottling
To preserve every aromatic nuance, our oil is packed into bottles and larger containers within just five days of pressing. This early harvest, combined with a fast process, gives the oil from the HEMALOJE olive grove remarkable intensity on the palate, revealing superb fresh notes of green fruitiness and cut grass that will enhance every dish.
