Introducing the 2023 harvest from our 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: November 2023.
Variety: Hojiblanca and Arbequina.
Polyphenols: 457 mg/kg.
Origin: Pedrera, Sevilla, Andalucía, Spain.
Process: Superior category extra virgin olive oil obtained directly from mechanical (never heat or chemical) means; <0.10% acidity (which is perfection!). The olives are milled within *an hour* of being picked in their mobile mill (🤩). This oil is filtered.
Agriculture: 350 hectares, organically-farmed with some regenerative practices.
Soil type: Limestone.
The middle 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

Note: The oil itself is organically farmed, has the EU Leaf marque and is certified organic by Sohiscert in Spain. However, we are in the process of applying for our certification as a business at Citizens of Soil to label this as organic in the UK. At this time, it’s not certified organic in the UK, though it is organically farmed.

Your new dip for everything!! :)

Delicious, taste is outstanding and enhances salads, vegetables, dipping with soda bread and salt. I even take it direct from the spoon.

Fantastic oil from Spain!

Slightly peppery, veggy smelling, wonderfully moreish!

Very nice indeed

Delicious oil, lovely flavour which goes nicely with more or less anything. Fruit and yoghurt, rocket or beautiful home-grown tomatoes. You can feel it doing you good too!

Great Oil

Having been brought up in Europe, im very pleased to have found a selection of authentic oils that are full of flavour and also so versatile - happy dipping!

The Best

Fantastic I’d the only word for the Extra Virgin Olive Oil from both Marina and Carolina & Juan.

Moments from your favourite holiday destinations, abandoned groves serve as a stark reminder of the reality facing rural communities. Small farming—quite literally—doesn't pay the bills. There’s been an exodus from the countryside to the cities, leaving behind charming little villages and the deserted lands around them. This week the Financial Times wrote a feature entitled "Olive oil heartlands battle ...

The olive oil 'fridge test': If only.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. This article was written by Alexis Kerner, a leading international olive oil expert & environmental scientist and edited by the Citizens of Soil team. If true, the "fridge test" would single handedly solve most of the problems of extra virgin olive oil producers, taster, retailers and importers alike. Sadly, it is not that simple. And the only rule to follow here is this: if you think it is too good to be true, then it probably is. ...
