Artisanal Harvest
Artisan harvest
The origin of an olive oil born of detail and time.
DiscoverThe harvest is the most decisive moment of the year: the instant when the fruit expresses everything the land, the climate and our care have built over months.
At Finca Hostalets 1898, picking is a craft: a precise, attentive gesture, deeply respectful of the olive tree. The tree, not the calendar, tells us when the moment has come.
Hand selection
Only healthy, firm and perfectly formed olives. Picking by hand ensures that only sound fruit enters the process, from the very first step.
The exact moment
We pick only when the Arbequina reaches its optimal balance: aromatic freshness, green intensity and natural stability in perfect proportion.
Cold milling
Each batch is milled on the day it is picked, always cold. Swift and precise, it keeps the aromatic identity of the Montsant intact.
Every fruit matters.
Picking by hand lets us choose only healthy, firm and perfectly formed olives. This meticulous selection preserves the purity of the oil from the very first step.
Gentle, artisanal handling protects the fruit and its sensory profile. The result is an extra virgin olive oil that keeps its aromatic identity intact: a faithful expression of the Montsant, its climate and its stony soil.
Milled the same day.
Once picked, the olives travel in ventilated crates to the mill in a continuous, controlled process. Each batch is milled the same day, always cold, to preserve:
- IThe polyphenols
- IIThe aromatic freshness
- IIIThe natural stability of the oil
- IVThe sensory elegance of our olive oil
It is a method that demands organisation, precision and absolute commitment. It is also how we obtain an olive oil that is truly alive and honest.
Every step is designed to respect the fruit, protect its integrity and carry the essence of the Montsant landscape into the bottle.José Seuma · Olive grower
When the origin is this special, the way it is harvested must be too.
We reinterpret the artisan harvest with contemporary techniques that elevate the craft. What we pursue is the most honest expression of the Montsant in every bottle.
