ABOUT US

OUR HISTORY
70 years ago , when the first models of oil cooperatives began to take shape, the farmers of our city (Bailén) who made up these two companies were clear that sooner or later a merger would bring them together and make their crops much more productive.
Thus, in December 2009 Picualia merged with the idea of building new and modern facilities , with the aim of producing high-quality oil, controlling the process and establishing a system capable of offering high product traceability. to produce excellent virgin and extra virgin olive oils that are now marketed in Picualia.
It is in the year 2011 , when Picualia begins to obtain prizes and recognitions for the quality of its oils and a cycle of investments begins to take place that bets on the production of high quality EVOOs that have so far accounted for 12.8 million euros to start up one of the most modern olive oil production plants in the world.
In 2016 , the Picualia oil mill obtained various national and international awards and recognitions, highlighting the AEMO award for the best oil mill in Spain in this 2015-2016 campaign, which was a motivation to continue contributing the PICUALIA essence: Passion, tradition, dedication and Vanguard.
