Casas de Hualdo oil comes from the Casas de Hualdo oil mill, founded by Francisco Riberas in 1986. This oil mill located it in El Carpio de Tajo in Toledo and little by little it has been expanding its olive grove.
El Carpio de Tajo is located in a natural enclave of incalculable value for its wealth of fauna and flora. On the banks of the Tagus River, where wildlife is in perfect balance with agriculture. This is the reason why Casas de Hualdo gives priority to sustainability with the natural environment.
This oil mill uses the means that nature gives it to control and take care of the olive trees. Examples of this are: their flocks of Manchega breed sheep to control the grass of the olive groves and give natural fertilizer to their olive groves, remains of the pruning are crushed as a contribution of organic matter.
Finally, all its olive trees are under irrigated agriculture. The water is taken from the Tagus River, but with the most advanced systems for greater efficiency.
