About Óleo Olivia

Óleo Olivia is a small family run company providing high quality organic extra virgin olive oil straight from the farm. We are small scale producers with a centenary olive grove of Manzanilla Cacereña olive trees in the Trujillo area of Extremadura, Spain. Buying our oil helps to support sustainable and regenerative agriculture which respects the surrounding environment and promotes biodiversity. The idea behind Óleo Olivia grew from a necessity to find a way to protect a traditional olive grove and the environment and ecosystem which it creates, whilst making it economically sustainable. Although beautiful, ancient olive groves can't keep up with the production levels of super intensive irrigated plantations and the level of mechanisation used to farm them, and many are left abandoned, despite the fact that the type of oil produced is very different and has a much lower environmental impact. Our olives are harvested early, as soon as they are ripe using manual collection methods, during the daytime, with minimal disruption to any wildlife. The oil is cold-pressed, locally the same day the olives are collected to achieve the highest quality extra virgin olive oil. Óleo Olivia is bottled directly after pressing in small batches, which helps to prevent oxidation and maintain its nutritional and organoleptic qualities. ​ We bottle a limited amount of Óleo Olivia each year depending on the harvest.Read their story
