The full moon, symbol of Cortijo el Puerto, illuminates the harvest nights of October, November and December. Luna Collection (Moon) consists of three Organic EVOO, a selection of different moments of olive maturity (green, purple, black) that comes to show how the oil produced from these olives evolves during the months of October, November and December.An Organic & Gourmet Collection. Exceptional coupages from the assembly of a selection of monovarietal oils carefully chosen to blend in a balanced mixture of flavour, colour and smell.

Only the olives in perfect condition are harvested, always at night, and transported in boxes, maintaining low temperatures throughout the process and quickly milled with cold extraction technique.

In addition, our packaging philosophy values to preserve our Ecosystem, and maximum stability of our EVOO qualitative characteristics, aromas, taste and its freshness. The packaging types we use for “Luna” Collection are:

# 175 ml and 500 ml Tinplate Cans (6.159139 & 17.59754 uk fl oz): they are lightweight, eco-friendly and keep light and oxygen away from the EVOO. It also shows quite good resistance to mechanical damage.

# Bag in Box (2 L/ 70.39016uk fl oz): vacuum packaging system with reduced Carbon Footprint. This system protects the product from oxygen and thus extends the useful life of the oil.

To preserve EVOO we recommend an airtight container, in a cool place and away from the light. This will ensure its properties for up to two years.

A singular set of oils of superior category excellent to finish dishes, it is perfect raw, stimulating our senses by its strong personality. It allows us to pair each plate with its ideal variety in order to appreciate nuances, aromas, flavours and organoleptic sensations of these three Coupages.
