Located in the heart of Valle Edén, northwest of Punta del Este, the property benefits from streams that ensure an abundant water supply and a Mediterranean-like climate, ideal for olive cultivation. This perfect balance allows for the production of extra virgin olive oils of exceptional quality, comparable to the finest in the world

Lote 8 elabora sus aceites de oliva virgen extra con aceitunas propias, cosechadas a mano y procesadas mediante tecnología de extracción en frío Pieralisi, logrando un producto con acidez menor al 0.2%. Almacenados en tanques de acero inoxidable con atmósfera controlada para preservar su frescura, estos aceites son cuidadosamente definidos por un panel de catadores italianos para cumplir con las mayores exigencias del mercado internacional.

Lote 8 is the olive oil of choice for Lucas Bustos, the renowned chef of Gurisa, the trendsetting restaurant on the eastern coast. Located in La Juanita, just 20 minutes from Punta del Este, its cuisine celebrates the Mediterranean roots of Latin America, where olive oil and wine serve as fundamental pillars
According to Bustos, both products share a historical and complementary connection: while the vine grows close to the ground, the olive tree develops at greater heights, allowing them to be harvested in different seasons
Guided by a philosophy that combines tradition, creativity, and a commitment to nature, Lote 8 transforms the treasures of Valle Edén into olive oils that excel in international cuisine. Bringing the essence of Uruguay to the world, every bottle captures the quality, flavor, and timeless spirit of the Mediterranean
