From Olive to Bottle: Watch the Production of Our EVOO Live
The production of Emán Vara Gourmet’s 12+1 Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) is a meticulous process that combines tradition and modern technology to guarantee the highest quality. From the olive harvest in the extreme climate of Valladolid to the final bottling, every step is crucial to preserving the oil's properties and flavor.
1. Mechanical Harvest: Precision and Efficiency
The harvest begins with advanced machinery that gently shakes the olive trees, allowing the olives to fall into nets placed around the tree. This method is fast and effective, minimizing the time the olives are exposed to air, which reduces oxidation and keeps their properties intact. Speed is essential to ensure that the olives are processed while still fresh, guaranteeing the best possible oil extraction.
2. Transport and Milling: Time is Essential
Once harvested, the olives are quickly transported to the mill to be processed within a maximum of 24 hours. This ensures the fruit is in its optimal freshness when processed. The milling process crushes the olives into a paste, which is then gently mixed to release the oil.
3. Cold Extraction: Purity and Quality
The oil is extracted through a cold-extraction process using mechanical centrifuges that separate the oil from the water and pulp. This method ensures that the oil retains its aromatic compounds and nutritional value, such as polyphenols and oleic acid, responsible for its flavor and health benefits.
4. Filtration and Storage: Preserving the Essence
After extraction, the EVOOis filtered to remove impurities and residual solids. The oil is then stored in stainless steel tanks in optimal temperature and light conditions, ensuring that it retains its organoleptic properties until it’s ready for bottling.
5. Mechanical Bottling: Quality in Every Drop
The bottling process is fully automated, filling each bottle with precision to avoid air contact. The bottles are sealed tightly and labeled with care, ensuring that the oil reaches consumers in perfect condition with all its quality and flavor intact.
