The art of organic
organic olive growing
Our commitment to a sustainable future
Our conviction to sustainability and quality makes us the first best organic olive oil mill in the world. An award that reflects our respect for nature and our passion for the work we carry out with care, patience and dedication.
Since 1998, we have planted more than 250,000 olive trees and have been in organic farming for more than 20 years.
By preserving the terraces of the original farm and converting them to drip irrigation, we have preserved the soil structure, preventing erosion and optimising the use of water.
Olive growing is, for us, an art that requires skill, dexterity and knowledge to cultivate and care for the olive trees, as well as to produce high quality extra virgin olive oil that reflects the land from which it comes.
In every bottle, you will find the essence of our passion and the fruit of our commitment to quality and sustainability.
Innovation and tradition in harmony with nature
Discover how our dedication to green practices and use of advanced technologies ensures a sustainable future, preserving biodiversity and maximising water and energy efficiency on our farm.
Self-supply
At Artajo we use a biomass boiler that burns olive pits to generate energy all year round, which includes hot water and heating necessary for both the oil production process and the facilities. This is complemented by the use of solar panels for electrical energy, which shows a commitment to sustainability and reducing environmental impact.
Efficient use of water
At Artajo we implemented an intelligent drip irrigation system based on precision agriculture, with 15 humidity probes, a weather station and NDVI satellite images. In addition, the farm uses water from the Lodosa canal, which is stored in a pond and used strategically to maintain the health of the plants without wasting resources.
Biodiversity conservation
The planting of floral strips with aromatic species between the olive grove terraces has helped us to promote biodiversity and naturally attract pest predator species.
And the implementation of 28 nesting boxes and floating islands in the ponds to encourage the nesting of birds and bats, which are beneficial for natural pest control.
Soil conservation
Our cultivation on terraces with double vegetation cover, living and inert, is carried out with pruning residues that favour the regeneration of organic matter and substantially improve the CO2 balance.
Negative carbon footprint
With more than 250,000 olive trees planted since 1998 in Artajo we have created a ‘green forest’ that captures CO2 all year round in the most ecological way possible.

Ensuring sustainability with our environment and food safety for our customers.
