The quality of our oil begins in the field. Prioritizing fruit excellence means sacrificing yield: we harvest olives at their optimal, early stage of ripeness to obtain an oil with greater aroma, intense flavor, and exceptional properties.
Hacienda Ortigosa Oil Mill
Where Authentic Flavor is Born
Our History
We are Hacienda Ortigosa Oil Mill, a family business located in Viana (Navarra), founded in 2005. Across more than 270 hectares, we carefully cultivate over 350,000 olive trees, exclusively of the Arbequina variety, from which we produce nearly 300,000 liters annually of a golden-yellow, exceptionally high-quality extra virgin olive oil.
In our constant pursuit of perfection to achieve an exquisite product, we combine three essential pillars: people, nature, and technology. Nature provides us with its richness; soil and climate conducive to olive grove development. The best of ancestral techniques are combined with the latest technologies to guarantee the unmistakable flavor of our oils.
Our Oil
The origin of our Hacienda Ortigosa extra virgin olive oil lies in the olive groves tended by expert olive growers who apply generations of expertise to harvest olives at their optimal ripeness, ensuring the highest quality of the fruit.
Arbequina olive oil is very similar to that of other varieties produced in Mediterranean coastal regions. This variety is highly selective, of great quality, and distinguished by its unique properties and characteristics.
Its flavor, like its aroma, is unmistakable; almond-like, sweet, and pleasant, without bitter or pungent notes, with nuances that evoke wild fruits and orchard fruits. An oil that captivates those seeking authentic and memorable flavors. The exceptional organoleptic properties of Arbequina oil make it ideal for both raw consumption and for stews and frying.
Process
1. Production
At Hacienda Ortigosa, we have an annual production of 300,000 liters of monovarietal
Arbequina extra virgin olive oil, and a storage capacity of
1,200,000 liters in our cellar. Our estate spans over
270 hectares, with more than 350,000 olive trees, machinery sheds, and all the
recursos necesarios para garantizar un aceite de la más alta calidad.
2. Optimal Harvesting
3. Irrigation and Olive Grove Care
We have a drip irrigation system that allows for controlled fertilization and electronic monitoring of each sector of the olive grove. Any anomaly is detected immediately, ensuring optimal care of the olive trees.
4. Process Control and Autonomy
We are autonomous in all phases of production: we harvest, transport,
mill, extract, store, and bottle our oil using
our own resources. This autonomy provides us with flexibility, speed, and total control
over the quality of our product, allowing us to respond agilely to our
customers.
5. Manufacturing and High Technology
The proximity of the olive groves to the oil mill, along with high-capacity machinery and advanced technology, reduces the time from harvesting to oil extraction to less than 12 hours. This prevents olive oxidation and preserves all their organoleptic properties, guaranteeing the unmistakable flavor and aroma of our oil.
We have state-of-the-art harvesting machines, tools for field care, transport vehicles for olives, extraction machinery, a climate-controlled cellar, and inerted tanks, all designed to obtain the highest quality extra virgin olive oil.
6. Cold Extraction
Our extra virgin olive oil is cold-extracted at a maximum temperature of 27°C, which preserves all the natural properties of the olive and gives the oil a unique flavor, aroma, and appearance.
7. Quality Control
We carry out rigorous controls at all production stages, supported by our
laboratory. We analyze the acidity, fat yield, and moisture content of the
olives, ensuring that each batch meets the highest standards before reaching
the consumer.
8. Circular Economy
We give a second life to the olive pits generated during our production process:
• As a natural ingredient in our exfoliating products.
• As a source of renewable energy (biomass), which allows us to generate heating and hot water in our facilities.
In this way, we close the production cycle, reduce waste, and create added value from available resources.
