About Hacienda Guzmán
Hacienda Guzmán is a historic estate located in La Rinconada, in the province of Seville, with over 500 years of tradition in olive oil production. Its legacy dates back to a time when the oils produced there were part of trade routes between America and Asia. Today, that history remains alive through a production process that blends artisanal techniques, innovation, and a deep respect for the natural environment.
The philosophy of Hacienda Guzmán is based on an integrated and sustainable production model. Every step—from the cultivation of olive trees to the final bottling—takes place entirely within the estate. This full traceability ensures strict quality control and reflects a strong commitment to organic farming. In fact, its 340 hectares are certified as organic cultivation by the Andalusian Committee for Organic Agriculture.
The production process follows a demanding series of selections. Only olives picked by hand at their optimal point of ripeness are used, coming from carefully selected plots and trees that yield the best fruit. The immediate transport to the mill—located within the estate—allows for cold extraction to begin almost right away, preserving the oil’s sensory qualities. Each batch is tasted and analyzed before being included in the final product range.
In addition to its agricultural work, Hacienda Guzmán welcomes visitors for oleotourism experiences, offering a close-up look at the art of crafting extra virgin olive oil. This combination of history, tradition, sustainability, and excellence in process means that Hacienda Guzmán’s products offer much more than just flavor—they tell a living story that continues to evolve.
