Our olive grove undergoes extreme changes in temperature
between day and night, especially during periods of vegetative
activity, which enhances the aromatic quality of our fruit and
provides special nuances to our extra virgin olive oil.
We are extremely strict in crop management, as we tried to
apply the latest farming techniques on our olive grove,
respecting the environment as one of the values of our
Valdecuevas group.
