| To accomplish our quality
and productivity objectives, we use adequate crop ratios for each
different variety of oils, from 400 plants per hectare, to
2200 plants per hectare. The clonal varieties used for very intensive growing are Arberquina, Arbosana and Korineiki. For intensive growing, the kinds used are Frantoio, Leccino and Picual, types recognized for their organoleptic characteristics and high amounts of fatty acids, which are needed for the production of high quality olive oil. Our plantations in the very intensive growing system represent 90% of the total planted crops. The remaining 10% correspond to Italian varieties in intense growing mode. Our estates of “San Mariano” and “Las Damas” are located at a 30km distance from each other. |

 |
| Nevertheless, the shorter
distance between “Las Damas” and the
coast implies some important agro-climatic differences with relation
to “San Mariano”. This variability allows us to elaborate olive oil of higher complexity in terms of aroma, bitterness, and spiciness through the formulation of different mixtures using the varieties and production areas. Our plantations are handled having great dedication and care for the environment. All crops have automated irrigation, deep wells, soil drainage and the water needed for the projected plantation. |
