A story rooted in the land of the olive tree
Origin of the Mediterráneo® Brand
Mediterráneo® was born from the dream and dedication of a farmer deeply rooted in the land, with a clear vision: to offer an extra virgin olive oil that represents the very best of the Jaén countryside. Over 30 years ago, this family project began with a simple yet demanding goal: to create an authentic product, free of additives, straight from the olive tree to the consumer.
The person leading this project has not only grown up among olive groves but has also combined field experience with solid training in industrial chemistry and specialization in olive oils. This blend of technical knowledge and respect for tradition has been key to selecting the finest olives, carefully managing every stage of the process, and maintaining a steadfast commitment to quality.
Each bottle of Mediterráneo® is the result of decades of work, learning, and passion for a product that is much more than just food: it is culture, health, and identity.
The connection with Canena and the province of Jaén
Our oil could have no other origin than Jaén, a land that breathes olive groves. And within it, Canena—a small village with a rich olive-growing tradition, where the landscape, climate, and history come together to give life to one of the finest oils in the world.
In Canena, each harvest is a celebration of hard work and know-how passed down through generations. Its privileged location—surrounded by hills covered in centuries-old olive trees—and its ideal climate give the olives unique characteristics that result in a balanced, aromatic, and healthy EVOO.
Mediterráneo® is born from this unmatched environment—not only because we cultivate our fruit here, but because this land is part of our identity. Producing oil in Canena is more than making food; it’s continuing a story that has been told for centuries among the branches of olive trees.
Commitment to authenticity and excellence
Rigorous fruit selection
We work only with olives at their optimal point of ripeness, carefully harvested to preserve all their natural properties from the very beginning.
100% mechanical and respectful process
We extract the oil exclusively through mechanical methods, without chemicals or refining processes. This way, we obtain a pure juice, just as the olive naturally provides it.
Ideal storage conditions
Our EVOO rests in inert stainless steel tanks, protected from light and oxygen, which guarantees its freshness up until the moment of bottling.
Bottled on demand
Each bottle is filled based on demand, avoiding prolonged storage. We use dark glass to protect the oil from oxidation and light.
