A Bottle with a Story: Joana de Cardona
The name of this edition pays tribute to Joana de Cardona (1500–1564), the last heiress of the powerful Lords of Salt. Known as a generous and visionary duchess, Joana not only granted the local people access to the mills on her land, but also actively promoted olive oil production in Catalonia.
Her domains stretched from El Pallars to Les Garrigues, where olive groves shaped the landscape. Her legacy lives on in every drop of this oil, made from the very same variety that once grew on her lands: Corbella.
