It is the perfect synthesis between the land, climate, man and technology; the unification of tradition and modernity.
It takes its name from the most beautiful places of the region, a wild plateau cut by an impressive meandering river. At the base of this imposing cliff there is an opening to a cave that was a cradle for some of the earliest human communities that populated the land in prehistoric times (second millennium BC).
In the Middle Ages (XIII century), the Cistercian monastery of Santes Creus dominated the land; the farmers, under the monastery jurisdiction, cultivated the olive trees in the area known as the Quadra Solana.
A dry LAND, where olive trees are surrounded by forests and the land is cultivated in banks and narrow terraces, supported by stone walls raised by the labour of farmers over the centuries.
The CLIMATE, the Mediterranean coastline, with mild temperatures throughout the year and little rain, enhances the qualities of the fruit.
The HUMAN hand, the farmer of always, cultivates vineyards and olive trees every year for the best harvest.
Nowadays, the olives are collected directly from the trees using the a manual procedure with combs and nets, and at the end of the day, the olives are taken to the mill where the co-operative’s olive oil is produced through an exclusive mechanical decanter centrifuge that extracts the essences of the fruit,
