Quaryat Dillar's Blog
Tras varias generaciones dedicadas a la agricultura y el sector olivarero, la familia Velasco Gil fundó en 2009 una almazara en Dílar, un pueblo granadino de Sierra Nevada.
From Quaryat Dillar EVOO makers in Sierra Nevada (Granada), we want to share with you a short film highlighting the hard work, passion and love that goes into making Quaryat extra virgin olive oils, our fresh olive juice as we prefer to call it.
The whole process is edited here down to two mins, it takes however two and a half hours. From harvesting the fruit in our groves -perching 1000 metres above sea level- to finally being turned into the aromatic essence and familiar trademark flavours of our Quaryat EVOO range.
Our festive greetings go out to all the local farmers. We wish you a very happy 2016/17 harvest.
We make our oil taking care of every part of the process. For this purpose we select each olive grove in Sierra Nevada (Granada) in a conscientious way. We take care of our olive groves with respect throughour the year to harvest the best olives. Also we choose the optimum point of maduration, which will give us the flavor and smell we ar looking for in each oil. We carefully harvest the olives using advances methods that allow us to speed up the process and take care of the fruit.
Once in the oil mill, we treat this olive with the greatest care. We make our oils by cold pressing and only using mechanic procedures. Later we pass the oil to the stainless steel cellar interted with nitrogen. We will package this oil on demand thus ensuring that we serve the freshest oil throughout the year.
We are very happy whith the positive feedback we receive. Thank you all.
