Always Read the Label.


The first thing we look for would be country of origin, to qualify as extra virgin olive oil, the highest grade, the oil has to pass lab analysis and sensory tests set by the Madrid-based International Olive Council. However, there is still room for deception along the production chain, as olive oil extracted in one country is often shipped to another, usually Italy, and then blended with olive oils from yet other places before being bottled and shipped off again. We highly recommend when choosing a quality olive oil at a minimum make sure that the olive oil is coming from the same country, check the label as blended extra virgin olive oil could be blended with oils from many countries, this could mean buying the cheapest olives from anywhere in the world but selling the product as Italian blended olive oil because it was bottled there.


All our olives come from our own farm and by working with a cooperative of local farmers in our area, we do not purchase any olives from outside of the Andalucía


region, this allows us to have consistency in the quality and taste of our oils. If you want to buy a true Spanish olive oil from Spain, then the olives must be grown and pressed in Spain.
