THE DISTINCTION THAT DEFINES US

THE HOJIBLANCA VARIETY AS OUR MOST PRECIOUS TREASURE

The Andalusian olive oil sector is world-renowned for its diversity of flavours and varieties. Its importance lies in the careful production of this precious golden liquid, which covers everything from the cultivation procedures of the olive groves to the meticulous extraction of the oil.

The Hojiblanca variety is a fundamental pillar in the world of olive oil, distinguished by its unique character and singular attributes. Originally from the region of Andalusia, this variety is a treasure in production, as it provides an excellent liquid recognized for its balanced and nuanced flavor. Its silver leaves capture the intensity of the Andalusian sun, being a visual reflection of the quality that is experienced in every drop.

In a market where differentiation is key, our dedication to olive quality, especially through the Hojiblanca variety, gives our oil a distinctive character.

COLD PRESSING PROCESS

To obtain Andalusian olive oil, we use cold pressing, valued for its ability to preserve aromas, flavors and nutritional properties of olive oil.
By avoiding the use of high temperatures, the beneficial compounds present in olives, such as antioxidants and healthy fatty acids, are better preserved.
This results in a high-quality olive oil, with an authentic flavour and an exceptional sensory profile.

2.
CLEANING AND WASHING

The harvested olives are cleaned of impurities, leaves and branches. They are then washed with water to remove any residue.

3.
GRINDING

The cleaned olives are ground to obtain a consistent paste.
This process breaks down the cells of the olives and releases the oil contained within them.

PRESSING
COLD

The resulting paste is placed in a hydraulic press that exerts pressure to extract the oil.
It is important to note that no heat is applied during this process, which prevents alterations in the chemical composition and flavor of the oil.

CLEANING
AND WASHING

After pressing, the oil is left to settle in tanks to allow natural decantation to occur, in which solids and impurities are separated from the oil. Depending on the type of oil chosen, it will or will not be subjected to a filtering process to remove particles.
