Description

Vallesur is characterized by presenting a medium to intense fruity with a high complexity of aroma and flavor, which highlights the notes of green fruity, with green tomato, artichoke or freshly cut grass and aromatic herbs in balance with the itching and bitterness typical of Peru's local variety Criolla.

Criolla variety, a variety of origin Spanish that has adapted optimally to the edaphoclimatic conditions of the region in Peru, located at the head of the Atacama desert, with a sandy loam, temperate, desert climate and with a moderate thermal amplitude between 28 ° C and 12.5 ° C.
Creole offers extraordinary conditions for the extraction of extra virgin olive oils with complexity and intensity of aroma and flavour, balanced and with great stability.

Traditionally, the olive harvest is carried out entirely by hand, which minimizes mechanical damage to the fruit and is very favorable for the production of high-end olive oils.

The Tacna region is located at a latitude of -18° (Southern Hemisphere). Due to its proximity to the equator, it should have a tropical climate, but its proximity to the Andes Mountains and the presence of the Humboldt Current in the Pacific Ocean provide a climate that is highly favorable for olive tree growth.
