History

Olive growing tradition

We are fully committed to the culture of olive oil, and we are heirs to an intangible family legacy: our ancestors’ devotion to the olive tree. Our maternal great-grandfather loved olive trees so much that he exchanged highly valuable estates for olive groves, embracing the symbolic meaning of a tree associated with the central concept of civilisation.

From the Estate, there is a wonderful view of the Castle of Almodóvar, which was linked to the Caliphate of Córdoba. At that time, great importance was attached to olive cultivation, so much so that fruit of the olive tree was accorded the status of “Cultural Asset”.

One step further

We brought in new varieties of olives to be cultivated on our land: the first arbequino trees in Andalusia, along with hojiblanco and picual. These young trees have adapted well to the terrain and now accompany the last vestiges of lechín trees to be found in the region, whose shape and size invite us to travel back through time. These century-old olive trees bear witness to the flavour that once prevailed in this area.
