Las Valdesas

Las Valdesas

Our farm ‘Las Valdesas’ is located in the geographical center of Andalusia, in the countryside south of Cordoba, in the town of Puente Genil. Five types of olives are grown in our own olive grove: Arbequina, Hojiblanca, Picual, Manzanillo and Frantoio. The grove is part of an Integrated Production Group, which regulates agriculture by limiting the use of fertilizers and pesticides, and allows us to develop a healthier and more natural olive oil, while practicing an environmentally friendly way of farming. At ‘Las Valdesas’ we pick our olives before they mature to obtain a high quality fruity olive oil. Since each variety has a different optimal timing of maturation, we harvest each variety at its premium. Harvesting is done solely from olives still in the trees, and no lolives are picked from the ground, thus ensuring the good condition of the fruit. Therefore, at ‘Las Valdesas’ we think we make one of the best extra virgin olive oils from Andalusia. ‘Las Valdesas’ was bought by their actual owners, a young couple and their sons in 1986. In 1999 an olive mill started to produce and since then, all their efforts have been focused on making high quality extra virgin olive oil. We have been working with an agricultural technical engineer from the beginning to assist us on farming matters. The mill is operated by the Master of the mill, and we have recently incorporated to our staff a sales manager to take care with commercial tasks . They all belong to our team of ‘Las Valdesas’ dedicated to pursuit excellence and to obtain the best quality oil.
