Description:

Cazorla, my hometown, is located in the heart of the largest olive-growing area in Spain and the world. This region is 1,331 square kilometers and the 30% of it are olive trees.

I have 11 family members dedicated exclusively to their olive oil groves using techniques that are respectful of the environment in order to avoid soil erosion and degradation and to preserve biodiversity. Some of them have 1 grove, some have 2, and others have up to 5 small groves, inherited from my grandparents and great grandparents for countless generations.

My family owns a total of 10,000 centenary olive trees in the mountains of Cazorla which produce around 50,000 kilograms of olives every harvest and between 6,000 and 12,000 litres of olive oil per year. The output changes each year depending on the weather and when the olives are harvested, if they are picked unripe the amount of juice extracted from them is less than if they are picked when fully ripe.
