WILD OLIVE TREES / ORGANIC OLIVE OIL
Within the area of Los Castellares is an expanse of approximately 125 acres of a species of wild olive trees, called “acebuches,” from which we regularly collect the fruit to harvest natural, organic oil.
|
The acebuche is a tree with a rounded, dense crown, but usually appears to be more a bush than a tree. The branches terminate in fine, and the leaves are perennial. The acebuche blossoms grow in white bunches and the fruit, called the acebuchina, is of the usual elliptical shape, rather small, has relatively little flesh and is black when mature.

The acebuche tree is characterized by its rigid, rising branches and its smooth bark. It grows very slowly and takes from 70 to 80 years to reach full development.

 |
The acebuche fruit yields precious little oil, with an exquisite delicacy and aroma that is unique and totally organic. Due to the difficulty in obtaining this oil, its production is very limited.
|
ACEBUCHINA OIL = ORGANIC OIL = HIGHEST QUALITY OIL
This product resists the usual means of comparison, being produced by methods used for only the highest quality oils and with its availability so limited that its price is at least triple that of normal olive oil. As one would expect, therefore, the richness, purity and overall quality of acebuchina oil is notably superior to that of olive oil. |
Consequently, the oil of the acebuchina is a product indisputably healthful with qualities that help prevent and can even cure many infirmities of the skin, the heart, as well as promote resistance to arteriosclerosis, gastritis and cholesterol. It is, therefore, indispensable to a healthful, natural cuisine, as well as being an environmentally friendly product.

Each year, a limited production of acebuchina oil is pressed, bottled, registered with unique serial numbers, sealed and presented to the world with great care and pride as a product typical of Andalusia and andalusian gastronomy, which has always been known for its balance in all facets and its high nutritional value. Acebuche oil is distributed to specialty haute cuisine shops throughout Spain and, little by little, is entering the international markets. Only recently has an appreciation for this type of oil begun to be felt outside the Spanish borders. |
In our company we have always observed that the old, traditional olive oil pressing companies have reserved the acebuchina oil for themselves. From this evidence we draw two obvious conclusions: that the experts who produce the oil recognize its clear superiority and that the market for the product is still ripe for exploration.
