Marqués de Prado: origin and production

Picual olives from olive groves between 10 and 40 years old from the Cortijo de Suerte Alta estate (Córdoba) are used to produce this oil. The Arbequina olives, on the other hand, come from the intensively farmed, dry-farmed ‘El Cañuelo’ estate in Seville. All of them, including the Arbosana and Manzanillo, come from family harvests. And their composition in this coupage is as follows: Arbequina (35%), Arbosana (35%), Manzanillo (20%) and Picual (10%).

This olive oil has a higher concentration of natural antioxidants than the average arbequina olive due to the intensive, dry-farmed cultivation mentioned above. Thus, we can affirm that buying this organic Marques de Prado olive oil with a high level of antioxidants is a benefit to your health.

Awards and Quality Stamps

In addition to all the awards that Cortijo de Suerte Alta has won as an olive oil mill, this olive oil has also won many awards despite its short life. In 2019 it has been honoured with the following awards:

• Honorable Mention of 2019 in Ovibeja
• Great mention to organic olive oil in the China International Olive Oil Competition
• Silver Medal at the EVO-IOOC

It also has the SEQEV – QV Extra Internationali quality seal, an essential seal of quality to be able to access certain markets abroad. As it is an oil that is so highly appreciated outside our borders, it has all the administrative guarantees that accredit its quality.

Producer: Cortijo de Suerte Alta sl – Marqués de Prado

A family estate dating back to the 14th century with 250 hectares of predominantly 100-year-old olive groves. The production is carried out on the estate itself, which allows total control of the process, from the flower to the bottle. The olive varieties grown are Picuda, Picual and Hojiblanca.

Cortijo de Suerte Alta has been producing organic olive oil since 1996, when it decided to opt for this type of production. And they have been awarded so many prizes in recognition of this long ecological trajectory.

It is an oil mill with great technical advances, having won the AEMO prize for the best olive oil mill, among others. They use solar energy, as well as reusing the olive waste in order to recycle as much as possible.
