The production of this extra virgin olive oil is integrated. Or what is the same, all the processes in the production of this juice are carried out in the farms and facilities of the same producer. In this case, Sucesores de Hermanos López sl.

Environment

The olive groves on the farms where the olives are harvested are located at an altitude of between 300 and 700 m. The olive groves are traditional mountain olive groves with a steep slope. The area has a continental Mediterranean climate with average rainfall and marked temperature fluctuations. The soil is clayey with a high calcium carbon composition. The olives are harvested in November, as the oil is green, and the techniques used are mechanised and hand-picking.

Once cold milled, as it must be in the case of an EVOO, it is kept in tanks with an inert atmosphere in order to preserve the olfactory-gustatory complexity. Or in other words, its organoleptic properties. And it will only be packed as orders are produced, in order to reduce the time possible from the moment it is packed until it reaches the customer.

Producer

La Laguna is the original brand name of its producer, Sucesores de Hermanos López. This olive oil mill has been in existence for more than a century and a half and is located in the town of Luque (Córdoba). On the other hand, this brand receives its name from the estate where the olives are harvested to obtain this juice: La Laguna del Salobral or del Conde.

In addition to this brand, they also produce and market Morellana, a brand of monovarietal olive oils with which they have won numerous competitions.
