Type of product: Olive oil Class 1.5, as referred to in Annex II to the Treaty 4. Specification: (summary of requirements under Article 4(2)) 4.1. Name: Montes de Toledo 4.2. Description: Extra virgin olive oil obtained from the cornicabra olive. Montes de Toledo designation of origin olive oil has high oleic acid content, a low linoleic acid content and a high total polyphenol content, giving it great stability, a quality for which it is known and appreciated on the market. Acidity: maximum of 0,7° Peroxide value: maximum of 12 Ultraviolet absorbency K270: maximum 0,15 Humidity: maximum 0,1 % Impurities: maximum 0,1 % Organoleptic assessment: minimum 6,5 C 229/4 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 12.8.1999 The colour varies from a golden yellow to a deep green, depending on the time of harvest and location within the district. As regards their organoleptic properties, these oils produce a strong sensation of density in the mouth and are fruity and aromatic. The oils are of medium bitterness and pungency, with an exceptionally well-balanced aroma when correctly matured. 4.3. Geographical area: This covers the districts of the south-west of the Province of Toledo and the north-west of the Province of Ciudad Real in the Autonomous Community of Castille-La Mancha along the Montes de Toledo hills. 4.4. Proof of origin: The olives are from groves in the production area growing the single authorised variety. The oil is obtained in approved mills and is stored at approved mills and bottling plants with suitable facilities for guaranteeing perfect conservation. The inspection body is to draw up an inspection plan covering the oil throughout the production and marketing chain. A numbered back label issued by the inspection body will guarantee that oils bearing the designation fulfil the specifications. 4.5. Method of production: 1. O l i v e g r o v e , h a r v e s t i n g a n d t r a n s p o r t a t i o n The soil in the grove must comply with the following: tolerance to carbonates (0,33 % to 76 %); organic materials more than 1 %; P2O5 m 50 ppm; K2O m 100 ppm; N m 1 %; clay < 25 %. The olives are harvested directly from the tree using traditional methods (hand picking, beating or shaking) which are varied from season to season to avoid damaging the trees. Only olives harvested form the tree may be used for the designation of origin and fallen olives must therefore be separated out during harvesting. Olives are transported loose in trailers or in rigid containers. Trailers and containers must be cleaned before each load with a high-pressure jet of cold water. The olives cannot be stored at the grove but must be delivered to the mill within 24 hours of harvesting. The vehicle transporting the olives must not exceed a speed suitable for the road conditions so as not to crush the olives. 2. U n l o a d i n g a r e a s . R e c e p t i o n o f o l i v e s In each unloading area, there must be a person responsible for correctly recording and separating olives of different qualities.

Calleja Alarcón1 Resumen: Calleja Alarcón, J.A. 2011. Distribución de Festuca patula Desf. en la Península Ibérica; ecología y tamaños poblacionales de sus poblaciones en Las Villuercas y Los Montes de Toledo. Bot. Complut. 35: 39-48. Se presentan datos sobre el tamaño de las poblaciones y las preferencias de hábitat de Festuca patula Desf. en Las Villuercas y Los Montes de Toledo (CW de España). Se amplia la información corológica para la península con 21 localidades nuevas: una en Sierra Nevada (Granada) y el resto en Las Villuercas y Los Montes de Toledo (Cáceres, Toledo y Ciudad Real). Las poblaciones de estos dos últimos territorios habitan en distintas condiciones ambientales. Se encuentran entre los 300 y 1.000 m de altitud, instaladas en sustratos metamórficos, creciendo en el soto- bosque de frondosas (quejigos, alcornoques, encinas, castaños, etc.) y en los claros de matorrales en laderas rocosas que, en numerosas ocasio- nes, limitan con formaciones riparias (caracterizadas por alisos, fresnos, sauces, etc.). La mayoría de las poblaciones están integradas por menos de 100 ejemplares y solamente dos alcanzan o superan los 1.000 individuos. El tamaño poblacional parece ser mayor en enclaves con suelo rela- tivamente desarrollado, en ambientes forestales sombríos. Palabras clave: corología, autoecología, flora, Península Ibérica, censo poblacional, Festuca patula.

  • Jara Greenway (Toledo)
    Jara Greenway Sometimes a railway is destined to fail. This is the case of the railway designed to link Talavera de la Reina with the rural district of Las Vegas Altas del Guadiana in Extremadura. The difficulty of the route, in which the mountainous nature of the terrain required a huge engineering effort, caused the project to be shelved before its completion. Today the La Jara Greenway runs between the Montes de Toledo hills and the Villuercas massif in the region of Extremadura. TECHNICAL DATA CONDITIONED GREENWAY An adventure through virgin lands, from the shores of the Tajo river to the Sierra de Altamira.

En la Meseta Central se distinguen varias zonas: los páramos, las campiñas y las vegas. La Meseta se extiende por las Comunidades de Castilla y león, Castilla-La Mancha y Extremadura. El Sistema Central divide la Meseta en dos zonas: la Submeseta Norte, recorrida por el río Duero; y la Submeseta Sur, recorrida por los ríos Tajo y Guadiana.

The location of these mountains allows the development of typical Mediterranean vegetation with some Atlantic influence. Consequently, typical broadleaved evergreen Mediterranean vegetation currently dominates the regional landscape, with the remarkable presence of more mesophilous species in sheltered and more humid microsites such as gorges (e.g., Prunus lusitanica, Taxus baccata, Ilex aquifolium) and mires/bogs (e.g., Betula pendula susbp.
