Environmental Measures

Our company deeply values the sustainability of our fields and we are committed to supporting the environment by upholding agricultural practices that respect the land thanks to the Precision Agriculture

We use the best technology to optimize water resources, relying upon renewable energy resources such as solar power, creating our own fertilizers by composting olive waste, making use of pruned branches as a clean fuel, encouraging biodiversity as well as recycling, natural pest control techniques, etc.

Our olive grove, sustainability

Our olive grove is located in the Guadalquivir Valley, in the region of Jaen (Andalusia, Spain) where our olive trees grow in a very special place, surrounded by the Cazorla Natural Park and where they are gently watered by 8 kilometres of the river Guadiana Menor which cross their Estate.

Our olive trees grow in a healthy environment of gentle rolling hills with a clay-loam, limestone based soil, at an altitude of approximately 500 meters. As farmers, we preserve the precious tradition of sustainability in our fields, we are a totally sustainable company.
