Oli Fontclara Palau-Sator

The Fontclara Estate, located in the heart of Baix Empordà, between the charming medieval villages of Peratallada, Palau-sator, Ullastret and Pals (popularly known as the golden triangle of Empordà), has several fields spread throughout the area between rice fields and fruit trees. It is a privileged place on the Costa Brava, blessed by a microclimate on a land with high production power: it is a kind of architectural and natural golden mile where the best liquid treasure is born: Fontclara extra virgin olive oil.

The sustainable approach of the estate is a hallmark of Fontclara. The extra virgin olive oil is produced in a respectful and ecological way. Currently, around 8,000 olive trees are cultivated on 60 hectares of land, many of them centuries-old trees. There are olives of the Arbequina, Picual, Argudell and Fantoio varieties (the latter is not yet in production), of which only the best specimens are kept after a meticulous manual selection process.

They are processed immediately after the harvest, at the end of September or beginning of October, in the same oil mill on the farm with a Mori mill, from Italy, the latest technology to optimize the quality of the oil. The entire production process of Fontclara extra virgin olive oil takes place on the farm itself and immediately after the harvest, thus guaranteeing the preservation of the organoleptic characteristics of the best extra virgin olive oil.

The Fontclara team has a common goal, which goes far beyond producing the best extra virgin olive oil: to educate and share all the secrets about this oil and its territory with all those who share this passion. That is why Finca Fontclara hosts experiences related to this elixir, in a familiar and welcoming atmosphere, which allows you to discover not only the secrets of olive oil, but also a wonderful landscape.
