About Elizondo
Elizondo is a brand that embodies tradition, excellence, and quality in the world of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. With a history spanning generations of olive growers, the company has perfected every stage of the process, from cultivation to extraction, to offer truly unique oils.
Its olive groves, located in the fertile Guadalquivir Valley, from the Sierra de Cazorla to La Loma, produce Picual and Royal varieties, harvested between late October and early November. This early harvest, before the fruit ripens, ensures that it retains its maximum intensity in aroma, flavor, and beneficial properties.
Elizondo pays close attention to every detail in the production of its oil. The olives are carefully handpicked and transported in crates to prevent damage. Thanks to the proximity of the mill, they are cold-pressed immediately at temperatures below 22°C, preserving the oil’s fruity nuances and pure essence.
Its state-of-the-art production facility is equipped with the latest extraction technology, designed to maintain the oil’s integrity without thermal or chemical processing. From milling to bottling, every step is carried out under strict quality control standards.
