We are committed to the environment and work towards sustainable tourism.
That is why we are taking measures in this direction. More information
At Aceitolivex – Almazara de Alcorneo, we understand that the quality of olive oil is closely linked to the preservation of the land where it is produced. As one of the oldest olive oil mills in Extremadura and a fourth-generation family business, we work to preserve traditional olive groves, promote more sustainable agriculture, and introduce visitors to the culture of olive oil and its connection to the landscape of the International Tagus region.
- We are committed to preserving traditional olive groves and are currently transitioning to organic production.
- We implement energy-saving and efficiency measures using machinery designed to optimize water and energy consumption, LED lighting, programmed drip irrigation, and water-regulating systems.
- We implement circular economy practices by making use of byproducts from our operations: olive pits are reused as biomass and animal feed, while the leaves are used to feed sheep.
- We promote the responsible use of natural resources by using firewood from dry holm oaks to meet certain energy needs.
- We support the “Sponsor an Olive Tree” program, a conservation initiative that helps preserve the traditional olive groves of the Tajo International National Park and the Tajo-Tejo International Biosphere Reserve.
- We are committed to women’s entrepreneurship and the active participation of women in rural development, taking part in initiatives that support entrepreneurship among rural women.
