Sustainability

Rooted in respect for the land

Olive groves are among the most resilient crops in the Mediterranean. We build our commitments on what we can confirm today.

Regenerative agriculture

Groves with cover crops and low-input management protect soil and biodiversity. We favour partner growers who work this way.

Efficient water management

Olive trees need little water. We favour partner groves and mills that manage irrigation and process water carefully.

Renewable energy

Our parent group is an Andalusian solar-engineering company. We aim to work with partner mills that adopt renewable energy in their operations.

Lower emissions

Shipping in drums or flexitank instead of pre-bottled goods cuts glass, plastic and weight shipped per litre, and consolidated freight reduces trips.

News & insights

Market knowledge for importers

Sunset over olive trees

Incoterms® explained: which one suits your import?

EXW, FOB, CIF or DAP — who pays, who insures and where risk passes.

Read more

With EXW or FCA you collect the goods in Andalusia with your own forwarder. With FOB we load on board at the Spanish port and you take over from there. CIF adds sea freight and insurance up to your destination port, while DAP and DDP deliver to your warehouse.

Choose by how much of the logistics you want to control. We quote the options side by side.

How to read an olive oil lab certificate

Acidity, peroxides, K232 and K270: what each number really tells you.

Read more

For extra virgin olive oil, free acidity must not exceed 0.8% and the peroxide value 20 meq O₂/kg. The UV indicators K232 and K270 reveal oxidation and refining. A sensory panel then confirms fruitiness and the absence of defects.

Ask for the certificate of the exact lot before you order — we send it with the quotation.
