Description
PREPARATION
Olive variety: Picuda and Hojiblanca.
La Laguna Selecta receives its name from the farm where the olives are collected to obtain this juice: La Laguna del Salobral or del Conde. After manually collecting them by sealing, they are transported to the oil mill where they are cleaned, using blown air to separate the leaves and washing to remove any traces of dirt. In each batch, a sample is collected to carry out chemical analysis and determine its fat content and degree of acidity. The olives are stored in hoppers waiting for their turn to be crushed, without exceeding 8 hours between harvesting and obtaining the oil. The mass is sent to the mixers where it is processed for a variable time, so that the oil particles are added and allow their subsequent extraction. And through a horizontal and vertical centrifugation process, oil, water and other solid waste are separated. The oil is stored under optimal conditions in inerted stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Finally, it is packaged and labeled, always under the care of expert hands, and sold filtered.
