Introducing a new oil from a multi-award winning producer in the Andalucía region of Spain. Situated between Málaga and Sevilla, this family business has completely transformed in just a couple of years under the direction of Marina, who's father's family had been making oil for generations. From a new mobile milling machine for precision quality to converting the groves organic—she has overhauled everything. In return for her effort, this special batch was recognised as "The Best Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil in Sevilla", earning a gold star at Ecotrama.

Harvest: October 2022.

Producers: The Segura Gómez Family—Peña Luna.

Varieties: Hojiblanca and Koroneiki.

Origin: Pedrera, Sevilla, Andalucía, Spain.

Process: Superior category extra virgin olive oil obtained directly from mechanical (never heat or chemical) means; <0.14% acidity. The olives are milled within *an hour* of being picked in their mobile mill (🤩). This oil is filtered.

Agriculture: 350 hectares, organically-farmed with regenerative practices.

Soil type: Limestone.
The youngest of 3 daughters in a multi-generational olive oil family, Marina set off on a journey to study the technical quality behind producing the best EVOOs.

When she returned home, she discovered her family’s oil just wasn’t good enough.

So she shut it down and started over. From a new mobile milling machine for precision quality to converting the groves organic—she overhauled everything.

And as a result, she turned her family business from just another olive oil into something *extra* and outstanding—scooping up awards and recognition in just a couple of years, including these specific to this EVOO:

⭐️ "Gran Oro" Gold Medal at Ecotrama, 2022
⭐️ Award for the "The Best Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil in Sevilla", 2021 and 2022
⭐️ Silver Medal at Ecotrama, 2020
⭐️ Gold Medal at Ecotrama, 2019
