We grow three varieties of olive:


 
Arbequina Olive
This variety is considered to be resistant to the cold, with a good fat yield and excellent oil quality, although the oil is not very stable. The small size of the fruit makes mechanical harvesting difficult.


 
Hojiblanca Olive
This variety has two applications and is considered appropriate for "Californian" type curing due to its firm flesh. The oil content of the fruits is low, although the quality is good.


 
Picual Olive
This variety is much appreciated for its early maturation, high productivity, high fat yield and easy cultivation. The oil is remarkable for its high oleic acid content.
