Aceites Los Llanos de Gredos

The exceptional geo-climatic conditions of the area led the Romans to plant their first olive trees so as to obtain one of the traditional products of the Mediterranean diet that they habitually followed, i.e. olive oil. Making use of the difference in altitude of the southern slopes of the Sierra de Gredos, they built crop terraces and a Roman road to link the two plateaus. Olive trees were planted in a more or less orderly fashion so as to adapt to the land and to ensure that each tree obtained the best possible nutrition from the soil and from the sun that ripened its olives.

Aceites Los llanos de Gredos produce extra virgin olive oil from olives gathered from their own centennial olive trees. No more than 4 hours must pass from collection to pressing, which is carried out in the traditional manner so as to maintain the fresh 100% natural aromas of the olives.

All the foregoing together with the fact that part of the oil comes from the indigenous redondilla olive variety (with a low-yield production but rich in aroma and taste) allows to obtain extra virgin olive oil of extraordinary quality.

The olive-oil agriculture of Aceites Llanos de Gredo is based on maximum respect for the environment and the natural surroundings, which means that their daily effort goes towards respectful and sustainable farming.
