We are Olive Growers
Passion and family tradition to produce a unique extra virgin olive oil.
With more than two centuries of history, the Artajo brand has its roots deeply rooted in Navarre since 1780.
In 1998, the olive-growing tradition was recovered with a modernised and sustainable approach, maintaining the family character from its origins.
Our history began with a small mill and a modest winery in the heart of Tudela. It continued in 1998, when we decided to invest in new plantations and inaugurated a new mill, a modern winery and new facilities in the heart of the olive grove.
For us, the olive tree is much more than just a tree. It is the origin of the quality of the oil. And with it, through an innovative and ecological approach to cultivation, we have developed a unique range of oils that reflect the diversity of the three climates that surround us: Mediterranean, continental and Atlantic. This climatic influence gives our olives and oils a unique personality.

The origin of quality
After an innovative trial in which we planted more than 70 varieties of olive trees from all over the world, we selected the 14 that today make up our olive grove.
The Los Llanos estate is located very close to Tudela, in a unique enclave for olive growing. Its location in the heart of the Ebro Valley, between the Bardenas Reales and the Moncayo Mountains, gives it a climate of contrasts with more than 3,300 hours of sunshine a year, which guarantees the singularity of an EVOO with a unique aromatic character.
The preservation of our unique environment has been a maxim of Artajo since its beginnings, committed to sustainability and the biodiversity that surrounds us. To this end, we have almost 300 hectares that can absorb around 3,000 tonnes of CO2.
The oil mill
Artajo's heart
The mill is strategically located in the heart of the plantation, which minimises transport in crates to preserve the integrity of the fruit.
Our refrigerated olive reception system, perfectly coordinated with the mill, allows the olives to go from the tree to the winery in less than two hours, thus guaranteeing the freshness and cleanliness of our AOVEs.
During the whole process, the extraction is carried out cold, between 18 and 20ºC, with a double cut mill and mixer and refrigerated centrifuges.
In-line filtering allows for optimum preservation of the organoleptic qualities of the oil, which, once in the cellar, is kept at a controlled temperature (18-20ºC) in an inert atmosphere with nitrogen. Bottling is carried out on the property on demand, in dark, inert bottles, to ensure that it reaches our customers as if it had just been squeezed.
Our Team, Our Family

At Artajo, our team is the heart that drives our excellence every day.
