As a result of years of study, of investment to achieve the highest quality, we have achieved the highest expected result: the "First Quality Award” in the ripe fruit category with our Taggiasca monovarietal extra virgin olive oil.
Certified by the most important international institution in the olive sector: the OIC (International Olive Council) through the Mario Solinas Quality Awards, our Taggiasca has entered the history of olive growing in Uruguay and Italy!
An astronomical achievement for a young company in its first international competition, with a sealed sample for the same competition of 4,580 liters: an award recognized to the entire production!
What Rincón Pandora does
.jpg)
Rincón Pandora is an olive-trees plantation and extravirgin olive oil production company that in 2014 has started a 9,000 plants intensive cultivation (olive-trees spacing 7x5), with genetically-certified varieties of olive trees imported from Italy (Vivai Pacini, Pescia).
Rincón Pandora is an ECO-ECO company: the alliance with research centres and universities in Italy has allowed the introduction of innovative methods and techniques, caring for the environment and orchestrating a fine rural landscape as this is being generated by these elegant, long-lived trees. These plants contribute to mitigate climate-change and retain carbon dioxide: this is why olive trees are classified as 'climate-smart crop'.
Pique Roto
In March 2019, with the first outstanding harvest, the company established the brand PIQUE ROTO, with its registered trademark, for the marketing and sale of high-quality natural foods.
Olive processing is carried out at the Oil-mill 'El Amarillo', only 12 km far from our plantation, which hosts our PIQUE ROTO storage tanks. Within the plantation, a laboratory for the production of table-olives and olive paté has been established and equipped with specialized machinery imported from the town of Imperia (Liguria), in northwestern Italy.
In order to ensure offering the highest quality with the products of the PIQUE ROTO line, these are being prepared exclusively with olives from the Rincón Pandora plantation, processed no longer than 12 hours after being harvested: this guarantees 100% products traceability, and a zero-kilometer process, thus allowing a unique quality to our foods.
CHEMICAL AND SENSORY ANALYSES
Consistent with its policy of transparency towards consumers, Pique Roto publishes each year both the chemical and sensory analyses of its extravirgin olive oils; these are carried out at the ANALYTICAL GROUP INSTITUTE of Florence (Italy), and at the Laboratorio Tecnologico del Uruguay (LATU) of Montevideo.
