Selective Harvesting

Olive harvesting at Silvanus' Geheimnis is a process that reflects our dedication to quality. We do not settle for mass production or methods that compromise the properties of the oil. Instead, we carry out selective harvesting, where each olive is picked from the tree at the perfect moment of ripeness. This guarantees that only the best olives, at their optimum point, are used for the production of our extra virgin olive oil.

This process is possible thanks to the connection we have with the land. Our olive groves are located in privileged surroundings, in the region of La Mancha, near the archaeological site of Segóbriga, a place steeped in history. Here, the climate and soil create the perfect conditions for growing olive trees that produce olives of the highest quality. However, nature alone is not enough. The experience and knowledge of past generations has taught us to identify which olives should be picked and which can wait, ensuring that the oil we produce is unique and has an unmistakable flavour.

Selective harvesting is not only a question of quality, but also of respect for the environment. Our olive cultivation and harvesting methods are respectful of the olive trees and guarantee the maintenance of biodiversity in the ecosystem of our fields. This approach allows our olive groves to remain productive for many years to come, as well as preserving the local flora and fauna, ensuring that future generations will be able to enjoy an oil as exclusive and delicious as the one we produce today and the environment in which it is grown.
