Hacienda El Espino Extra Virgin Olive Oil: ecological tradition with a modern soul
Hacienda El Espino Extra Virgin Olive Oil represents the purest expression of the olive groves of La Mancha. Made from Picual and Arbequina olives, this oil combines the best of two worlds: the intensity of Picual and the aromatic softness of Arbequina. The result is a natural balance with a sensory profile that enhances any dish and reflects the authentic character of the land of Almansa.
At Hacienda El Espino, every bottle is born out of absolute respect for nature and a carefully monitored production process. This organic olive oil is produced in a privileged environment where agricultural tradition meets cutting-edge technology to deliver a product of exceptional quality — healthy, sustainable, and full of character.
The soul of the olive grove: Picual and Arbequina varieties
The personality of Hacienda El Espino Extra Virgin Olive Oil comes from the blend of two complementary varieties. Picual, known for its intensity, brings body, green leaf notes, and a firm structure — ideal for warm dishes or strong flavours. Arbequina, softer and more aromatic, balances the blend with its fruity freshness and hints of almond and green apple.
Together, they create a balanced, elegant, and versatile oil that suits both traditional and contemporary cuisine. It is crafted for those who value authenticity, quality, and a direct connection with the source.
An organic oil with a seal of excellence
At Hacienda El Espino, the olive groves are cultivated according to the principles of organic farming. No pesticides or chemical products are used that could alter the natural balance of the soil. This philosophy ensures a cleaner, healthier oil that respects the environment. Each olive is harvested at its optimal ripening point and cold-pressed within hours to preserve its aromas and nutritional properties intact.
The result is an extra virgin olive oil with minimal acidity and a high content of natural antioxidants — perfect for a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
High-tech facilities for uncompromising quality
The olive mill at Hacienda El Espino is an example of how innovation and tradition can coexist. Its facilities include a state-of-the-art bottling area equipped with advanced technology that preserves all the oil’s properties from pressing to packaging. This closed system guarantees that every bottle maintains its freshness, aroma, and natural colour without oxidation or alteration.
The entire process — from oil reception to final sealing — takes place within the estate itself, allowing for complete quality control. In this way, every bottle reaching the consumer’s table retains the essence of freshly milled olives.
