The Vigor of the Sierra: Our Alfafara Variety

In the highest and most rugged areas of the Sierra de Enguera, where the climate becomes harsher, we find the Alfafara variety. It is the quintessential “mountain variety,” able to extract the best from a wild environment to offer an oil of unmatched intensity and robustness, designed for those seeking a profound sensory experience.

Resistance and Altitude: The Character of Dryland

Unlike other varieties, the Alfafara olive tree is highly vigorous and thrives in the cold of the Sierra and on calcareous soils.

Extreme Adaptation: It is our most frost-resistant variety, allowing us to cultivate it in the highest plots of Enguera.

Natural Concentration: Growing in a mountain dryland environment, the fruit matures slowly, concentrating an exceptional amount of phenolic compounds that ensure superior structure and shelf life.

Alfafara Variety

This variety is considered the quintessential “mountain variety” due to its robustness in wild environments.

The Tree: It is a highly vigorous plant that stands out for its resistance to the severe conditions of the Sierra. It is especially suited to calcareous soils and is the most frost-resistant variety in the area.

The Leaf: Typically medium-sized, with a dark green upper side and a lighter underside, characteristic of varieties adapted to high altitudes with intense solar radiation.

The Fruit: Slightly elongated and elliptical in shape. Its ripening is somewhat later and staggered compared to Villalonga, allowing a gradual harvest to obtain different oil profiles.
