Our products are certified organic by “C.A.A.E. – Andalusian Committee for organic agriculture”, a branch arm of the Spanish Government, recognized by the E.C. (European Community).

Additionally, subsequent sampling, sealing of containers and analysis certify that the oil is free from chemical residuals.

The organically grown olives from which our oil is cold-pressed is harvested by a defined group of individual olive planting farmers who keep on maintaining their rather small olive fields owned by their families over generations. These families live from their olive oil production and have achieved an exceptional level of caring for their plantations, in clear differentiation to mass production.

Our oil is exclusively of Spanish origin, the worldwide leader in highest quality oil production.

Harvesting, transport and grinding of the olives.

The olive is harvested exclusively in the air (meaning, the olive is still on the tree, never on the ground) in the optimum moment of ripening. The system of harvesting consists in vibrating the olive tree, using special machines. The olives are loaded in trailers and transported to the oil mill.

The olive is ground within 24h of harvesting, so that it does not lose any of its properties. On reaching the oil mill they are washed, weighed and ground immediately. This consists in grinding the olive to break it and release its liquids.

The resulting paste is beaten at a temperature no higher than 27ºC, so lessening the viscosity of the mass making easier the extraction of the oil.

The result is a very high quality extra virgin olive oil.

It avoids corrosion of the soil enriching it naturally, without using chemical products or pesticides. With this type of agricultural practices, the underground water is never polluted, as the fertilizers used are composts, animal manure, green manure, etc. All of which contribute to the conservation of the environment.

Apart from the official controls carried out on all foods, organic products are subjected to an additional certification (in our case CAAE), which guarantees the authenticity of its organic origin. In this type of product the traceability and authenticity are assured. Organic olive oil have much higher production costs than conventional olive oil, due to it being an intensive agriculture, using only natural products which are more expensive and the yield per hectare is usually lower, but it above mentioned benefits and delicious flavor more than compensate the difference in price.
