The Rincon de la Subbetica's Olive Grove is situated in the rugged mountains of the Subbetica Sierra National Park in Cordoba, Spain. This region enjoys an ideal microclimate to grow olive trees: it has a relatively high rainfall with wide temperature variations. The work of the land in these olive groves is arduous, the slopes of the olive groves can be of up to 70% in this mountainous terrain- the olive trees here grow without irrigation in the "wild." Still, it is in this difficult environment that legendary olive trees from Roman times , some thousand years old, produce the most Awarded Olive Oil in the World: "Rincon de la Subbetica". This is the "Romanee-Conti" of Olive Oils.

The altitude of the Olive Grove is between 700 and 1000 mts. above sea level. These old trees are so well adapted to the terrain that are, by nature, resistant to pests, frost and drought.

Rincon de la Subbetica is 100% Certified Organic and harvested Pre Envero in early Autumn to maximize the content of antioxidants and other health promoting nutrients.

To conserve the health promoting compounds best used cold: dippings, salad dressings or just added cold to a hot dish at the time of serving.
