Changlot Real: Olive groves and olive oil mills for sale

This variety originates from the Enguera mountain range. It is mainly grown in the Alicante regions of the Vinalopó basin, being the dominant variety in Vinalopó Mitjà and to a lesser extent in various Valencian regions such as the Ayora Valley.

It is a high-yielding variety, but it is a little stunted. It adapts well to different soil conditions, being resistant to cold and drought. Its fruits are of medium ripening and have a high resistance to detachment, which makes it difficult to harvest by

mechanised harvesting.

The total fat content of this variety is lower than others, so its industrial yield is also considerably lower. The optimum time for harvesting is mid-November, although it can be brought forward to the first days of the month. Earlier harvesting, in the first days of November, will make it possible to obtain oils of higher organoleptic quality and higher polyphenol content, although with a significant reduction in fat yield and oleic acid content.

Variety with a high oleic acid content, low in linoleic acid and a good level of polyphenols, which gives it very good stability.

A variety native to the Valencian Community and of unknown origin. The surface area of the Changlot Real olive grove is barely 5,000 hectares, with a scarce presence in Spain. Changlot Real is mainly grown in Alicante, although small plantations can also be found in Valencia, Jaén and Córdoba. It is so called because of the curious way in which it bears fruit (the olives form small bunches). The meaning of the word Changlot is "portion of a bunch of grapes". On the other hand, the variety is relatively recent, its cultivation began in Alicante at the beginning of the last century.

Extra virgin olive oil

The extra virgin olive oil of the Changlot Real variety is a slightly fruity and spicy oil, with aromatic notes of ripe fruit and tomato, with a very low sensation of sweetness perceived in these oils.
