Meet the producers: the López family.
We are always inspired by how farming and nature can support each other—and connecting with the López family shows us how this can be done well.
Certified as a brand of the natural park by the Ministry of Sustainability and Environment, Andrea and Antonio are involved in biodiversity projects and work to support the socioeconomics and planetary resources of this protected area across olive oil and their rural family hotel.

Plus, you can bulk it out with a grain of your choice—couscous, rice, or bulgar wheat all work deliciously— and switch up the greens you serve it with to keep things interesting.
