Soler Romero
Soler Romero is a family business with a long tradition in olive oil. They produce, bottle and distribute organic extra virgin olive oil, exclusively made in their own farm and mill, located in Alcaudete, in the province of Jaen. The family remains actively involved in all operations in the farm, from cultivation to commercialization. They are one of the few fully organic olive farms with total traceability in Spain: The organic extra virgin olive oil SOLER ROMERO is solely made of their olives groves, the olives are pressed in their own mill and the oil is also bottled on location.
The family has owned the estate, Cortijo El Tobazo, since 1850. The shepherds were allowed to graze their flocks on their land with the condition that they planted olive trees as they tended their sheep. Almost all olive trees are over 100 years old and were planted by the shepherds almost 200 years ago.
The estate "Cortijo El Tobazo" is located in Alcaudete, in the province of Jaen, Andalusia,). Olives have been cultivated in Andalucia for over 6,000 years and the region provides the perfect climate for nurturing this fruit with strong, bright sunshine and regular refreshing rain throughout the winter.
The farm enjoys an ideal situation, which confers to their olive grove an ideal environment for the organic farming and for the production of the best quality. Having an average height of 600 meters above the sea and a wide temperature range between summer and winter, allow a natural disinfection of the olive trees, keeping them safe from plagues and illness without the use of chemical products.
The mill is centrally located in the olive groves, allowing to process the olives within 3 hours after harvesting (to limit oxidation and preserve maximum health benefits and flavour).
The whole extension of Cortijo el Tobazo is exclusively cultivated using organic agricultural techniques.
