WATER!

We live in rural Andalusia where water is one of the most sacred resources. It doesn’t rain here often. And it gets dryer every year.

Conventional Oilive-Platages did only care about return and they are using tones of water to keep their businesses growing. But the nature around their oilivetrees is dead.

Instead of mass producing oiliveoil it is time to treat nature holistically.

On our own olive finca we are experimenting with regenerative agriculture. We want to be the ambassador for restoring the health of the soil, saving water, using solar energy and no chemicals. 

Buying our products supports these endeavours.

About Solymontes Olive Oils

Solymontes olive oil is made from small family-owned olive groves in one of the most pristine areas of Andalusia.

The groves are remote and inaccessible for large machinery. The mostly centenarian trees are not irrigated, so their strong roots extract minerals and nutrients from deep in the soil.

Solymontes olives are early-harvested by hand, while most are still green, which makes the oil particularly rich in polyphenols.  This creates a fresh and intense flavor with high health benefits.

Our olive oil is always fresh, always extra virgin, and always from the latest harvest. We make sure that you get the highest quality.

What's so special about Solymontes Olive Oil?

  • Early Harvest
    Because we harvest earlier than most, the olives contain more antioxidants (and less water) and the oil is particularly aromatic
  • Traditional Harvesting by Hand
    and therefore particularly gently (the olives get less bruised than with machine harvesting)
  • Three Varieties: Picual, Manzanilla and Hojiblanca
    Solymontes Olive Oil is pressed from three local varietes that have a particularly high content of polyphenols. Pholyphenols are some of nature’s most potent antioxidants.
  • Quick Pressing
    Solymontes olives are pressed shortly after harvesting in the local mill, that way we make sure that no rotten spots can build
  • Immediate Bottling
    Solymontes Olive Oil is bottled shortly after pressing (instead of being stored in large containers for months or even years)
  • Centenary Trees
    Solymontes olive trees are hundreds of years old, so they have very deep, strong roots that extract nutrients from the mineral soil. This makes for a particularly aromatic oil. 
  • Remote Groves
    Solymontes olive trees grow in remote groves on the mountain slopes around the Andalusian villages of Ardales and El Burgo
  • No irrigation
    so the trees undergo hormesis and produce a high level of antioxidants that make the oil extra healthy and aromatic
