THE VIGOR OF THE SIERRA: OUR ALFAFARA VARIETY<\/b><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner gap=”35″][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]\n

In the highest and most rugged areas of the <\/span>Sierra de Enguera<\/b>, where the climate becomes harsher, we find the <\/span>Alfafara<\/b> 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

RESILIENCE AND ALTITUDE: THE CHARACTER OF DRYLAND FARMING<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Unlike other varieties, the Alfafara olive tree is highly vigorous and thrives in the cold of the Sierra and on calcareous soils.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • EXTREME ADAPTATION:<\/strong> It is our variety most resistant to winter frosts, allowing us to cultivate it on the highest plots in Enguera.<\/li>\n
  • NATURAL CONCENTRATION:<\/strong> Growing in a mountain dryland environment, the fruit ripens slowly, concentrating an exceptional amount of phenolic compounds that ensure superior structure and shelf life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=””]\n

    ALFAFARA VARIETY<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    This variety is considered the quintessential \u201cmountain variety\u201d thanks to its robustness in wild environments.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • THE TREE:<\/strong> It is a highly vigorous plant that stands out for its resistance to the severe conditions of the mountains. It is particularly well suited to limestone soils and is the variety most resistant to winter frosts in the area.<\/li>\n
    • THE LEAF:<\/strong> It is usually medium-sized, with a dark green upper surface and a lighter underside, typical of varieties adapted to high altitudes where solar radiation is intense.<\/li>\n
    • THE FRUIT:<\/strong> It has a slightly elongated, elliptical shape. Its ripening is somewhat later and more gradual than that of the Villalonga, allowing for a slower harvest to obtain different oil profiles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=””]\n

      TASTING NOTES: POWER AND PERSISTENCE<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      Our Early Harvest Alfafara is an oil with an overwhelming personality. Thanks to immediate extraction below 22\u00b0C, we preserve its untamed strength:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • ON THE NOSE:<\/strong> It presents an intense and complex green fruitiness. Clear notes of olive leaf, artichoke and a very fresh herbaceous touch can be perceived, reminiscent of the countryside after the rain.<\/li>\n
      • ON THE PALATE:<\/strong> It is a full-bodied oil. It stands out for its balanced yet persistent bitterness and pungency, a sign of its extraordinary freshness and very high antioxidant content.<\/li>\n
      • FINISH:<\/strong> It leaves a lingering memory of green banana and nuts, with a surprisingly clean mouthfeel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”751″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=””][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle” gap=”35″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”924″ img_size=”full” css=””][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]\n
