Mi Oliva Gourmet: que nos hace diferentes

What makes us different

Many people ask us: what do we have that others don't? In these lines, we answer that question as best we can.

The Olive Groves of Puente Genil

The oil we bring to Mi Oliva Gourmet comes from one of the finest olive groves in the world, in the fields of Puente Genil. As far back as 1935, it was awarded the prize for the world's finest olive oil (OPTIMUN OLEI EMPORIUM), an award granted by the Spanish olive growers' association — the only one of its kind in the world at the time — created expressly to recognize the prestige and quality of the olives from these centuries-old groves, whose flavor, aroma, and organoleptic properties are truly unmatched.

Many factors influence the quality of an olive oil, but in this countryside they all come together in a perfect combination.

Our oils are bottled daily

We don't hold stock of pre-bottled oil — our oils are bottled as orders come in.

Unlike the oil you find in supermarkets and large retail chains, our oils are kept in the cellars of our Olive Oil Mills, under ideal conditions that preserve every drop of flavor and nutritional value.

The olive groves of Puente Genil

Our oils are never blended

Centuries-old olive grove in Puente GenilThere are dozens of brands sold as Extra Virgin Olive Oil that simply aren't — they're blends of oils from different origins, with the good oil used as a front and cheaper oils used as filler.

Our oils are never blended. We only select oils that are subject to rigorous quality controls, assessed primarily by yield and acidity levels.

We visit every grove to check the harvesting process, and every Olive Oil Mill to verify the production process, laboratory testing, and cellar storage conditions.

Our mission

Our first mission is simple: YOU — building relationships for life. Knowing that you are 100% satisfied is what drives every one of us, in every step we take, no matter how small.

Our second mission is almost a dream: to champion the true value of our golden product, Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Millions of tonnes of Spanish olive oil are exported at give-away prices around the world, blended with oils of questionable origin, repackaged under other brands — stripped of their quality and properties — then resold at ten times the price.

It's time for the world to know that the finest Extra Virgin Olive Oil has a name of its own.

The Mi Oliva Gourmet team

Thank you!

We can only end by thanking you, because with every purchase you bring this dream a little closer — and we are convinced that in 15 or 20 years, we will all be able to say with pride that we made it happen.

A million thanks!
