The production of organic products, also called organic or bio, has as its main objective a better care of the environment, a better knowledge of the production chain and the absence of chemical products that can damage health.
Organic extra virgin olive oil undergo more stringent controls, controls carried out by organic certification agencies, certifying that no inorganic fertilizers or chemicals are added to them for pest and pest control.
However, organic products are seen as an antithesis to conventional products, but increasingly conventional production is more similar to organic production.
Organic olive oils like other organic products can be found in a wide variety of places, from large supermarkets, in small shops to small specialized shops.
In our shop in El Cortijuelo de San Benito, in Las Rozas de Madrid or in our local store you will find a wide range of organic extra virgin olive oils from Jaén and other areas of Spain.
You can pick them up in the same shop, or we can take them to your home if you wish.
The large industry has entered this sector labeling many products as organic and taking more and more industrial processes, so this philosophy for large companies make sense to this type of healthy food and looking for a better care of the planet and our health.
In organic production we have to be a little careful with what they sell us, because many of them sell us as organic products, but when I start researching the numbers don’t match. Producers of organic olives with spectacular production yields, organic products from other countries such as Turkey, organic oils that have been very poorly preserved, pasteurized organic honeys, etc..
From El Cortijuelo de San Benito we have selected organic producers of extra virgin olive oil who believe in this philosophy of natural life, producers who care for the environment and produce their products with the utmost meticulousness, producing high quality products.
Among the cooperatives we have selected, these are the following:
Oro del desierto: A small olive oil mill well known for the high quality of its olive oils and winner of the most prestigious awards, it produces all its olive oils in an ecological system.
