La Estaca

The La Estaca olive grove grows the Picual variety. It is a sustainable grove located high in the mountains, which strongly influences the high quality of the olive oil obtained. The grove is located at an altitude of 1,025 metres in the Sierra Mágina (Jaén).

The owners cultivate the olives in a traditional way that is in line with agriculture and biodiversity, thus obtaining sustainable, healthy and high-quality extra virgin olive oil with a high content of polyphenols.

They maintain the plant cover, do not use pesticides and crush the residue after pruning and put it back into the soil. Thanks to this method of cultivation, this olive grove absorbs_CO2, cleansing the atmosphere and mitigating the greenhouse effect. Soil fertility is maintained with organic fertiliser made from compost and manure.

The La Estaca olive grove is home to many animal species (birds, foxes, moles, snakes, lizards, rabbits, insects...) that help maintain the olive grove ecosystem. This fragile ecosystem has been disappearing over the last 40 years in parallel with the increased use of pesticides (herbicides and pesticides).
