About Pago Baldios de San Carlos

Pago Baldíos de San Carlos is the legacy of many generations (the family is directly linked to agriculture since the 17th century), an experience which is appreciated in their caring of olives and raisins throughout the production.
The fields are located in the almost perpetual snows of the Almanzor. They absorb the clean and clear water that reaches the land due to natural and granitic causes while their fruit ripens under the rays of Extremadura’s Holy Sun.
The property is located in the Valle del Tiétar, in the province of Cáceres, Extremadura (Spain).

The olive trees are in the foothills of the Sierra de Gredos, near the Yuste’s Monastery, in the idyllic zone of La Vera, a natural environment in which the emperor Carlos V secluded himself, wearied by battles, and the political and religious figures of his kingdom. He chose this place to seek peace among all of the thousand others which were part of his huge empire where the Sun never set.

Furthermore, this land benefits from a geographic location in the middle of vast extensions of raspberry bushes, orange trees and cherry trees, which leads to the flourishing of a whole ecosystem. This allows us to obtain acidity levels so low that they defy the understanding of analysts and experts. This is where the fruity savors and unique aromas come from.

 

Olive Trees
The microclimate in the Valle del Tiétar allows them to complete the harvest 15 days before the usual date, gifting our products an exceptional-fruity flavor, very rare in the market. Milling immediately after collection gives the extra virgin olive oils a smoothness accompanied by a powerful personality, as well as an acidity ≤ 0.1%.
