Heritage
Olives are deeply rooted in Spanish culture.
Olive production in Spain dates back to more than 3,000 years. It is believed that the Phoenicians first introduced olive trees in Spain. Since then this unique fruit has become the most iconic and distinguishing mark of our tradition and culture. In fact, the olive is at the centre of the Mediterranean diet, which is considered one of the healthiest in the world.
Today, table-olive production in Spain is a major industry with advanced technology to obtain the very best from our olives. However, in essence, Spanish olives remain faithful to tradition and follow nearly the same processes used for centuries. Thanks to this, Spanish olives have reached everywhere in the world and are enjoyed in countries like India.
