Seeds for the future
We make it in Siurana d’Empordà, from our olive trees to your table: organic, superior category, first cold extraction.
Start the tasting
Sightcolour and texture
At official tastings the glass is dark so the colour doesn’t sway the taster. Out of the glass, our oil is olive green, with a high fruitiness.
Smellfruity nuances and aroma
On the nose, green olive fruit with herbaceous, vegetal aromas like tomato plant, which recall the plants that live alongside our olive trees. Then slightly riper notes of fresh fruit.
Tastebitterness and pungency
In the mouth it echoes what you found on the nose. Very balanced, with an almond aftertaste and a delicate, elegant finish.
Touchbody and texture
We harvest at the beginning of October and mill the olives within a few hours, cold. To enjoy all its flavour, have it raw: on salads and cold dishes.
Hearingthe sense 5Senses adds
At the 5Senses tasting you listen too: oil textures like a crumble or a foam, paired with chocolate, fruit or ice cream. And in the background, the wind in the olive trees.
Mas Bordas, the estate that gives our oil its name, lies in the middle of the Empordà plain, in Siurana d’Empordà. This setting gives the land properties that make our oil’s flavour unique: argudell and arbequina olives, within the Protected Designation of Origin Oli de l’Empordà.
The tradition goes back a long way: in the late 1800s, great-grandfather Florenci built the village’s first oil mill.
We have been organic from day one. We use no herbicide: our sheep and hens help keep the grove clean and naturally fertilised.
We also produce organic eggs: 9,000 laying hens, 8,500 eggs a day, 100% organic feed and 36,000 m² of open-air yards.
And the olive stones aren’t thrown away: they fire the biomass boiler, next to the solar panels. Living grove
We harvest when the olives, six to seven months old, hold the most fatty acids in their flesh. That is what makes the oil high quality.
A machine shakes the trunk and the olives fall into an umbrella without touching the ground. They must arrive intact.
The olives are cleaned with sieves to remove leaves and stems, then washed in cold water.
They are milled a few hours after harvest on a state-of-the-art line. That is how we get a superior-category extra virgin oil.
The oil is extracted cold, with thorough quality checks throughout the process.
Come to Mas Bordas: walk the grove, step into the mill and taste our oil with us.
