It was founded as a cooperative in 1966 by 100 pioneer partners whose strong beliefs in the tradition of the agricultural way of life of Jaén are still transmitted nowadays to our production through the Governing Council of our company, which is exclusively made up by farmers to make possible the commitment to excellence in the production of our Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Tradition, improved technique, the most modern facilities, the fruit traceability and the know-how of our Milling Masters allow us to have the best olive juice in our homes and of course in thousands of our clients and friends’ homes, because our Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) will allow you to enjoy cooking in a healthy, traditional and tasty way.
