Achieving an olive oil with the characteristics of those produced by Aceites Echinac S.A. is no easy task. It requires a continuous effort to consistently meet the highest quality standards for olive oil.

Excellence in oil production: from the olive tree to the consumer
The quality of an olive oil is not something that can be improvised. It is the result of a meticulous process, where each stage, from olive cultivation to bottling, is carried out with rigor, respect for the raw material, and a commitment to excellence. A quality olive oil reflects the perfect balance between nature, technical expertise, and tradition.
Echinac Oils
Echioliva Extra Virgin Olive Oil and its Organic range is the natural juice extracted from the finest selection of olives from our Andalusian fields, healthy and at their peak of ripeness. Its smooth, fruity flavor, greenish-gold color, and fresh aroma make it an irreplaceable, 100% natural product in the Mediterranean diet.
Furthermore, we are proud of the quality and efficiency of our pomace oils, with their extra virgin content and qualities that make them the best oil for frying.
The value of origin
It all begins in the field. The olive variety, soil type, climate, and harvest time are all determining factors. Healthy olives, picked at their optimal ripeness and milled quickly, yield fresh, aromatic oils full of nuances.
Responsible farming, irrigation control, pruning, and respect for biodiversity ensure that each fruit retains its purity and that the final oil maintains all its natural properties.
60 YEARS
OF TRADITION
Maximum quality in our olive oils
Manufacturing process: precision and care
Once at the olive mill, the olives begin their transformation. They are cleaned, crushed, and subjected to a cold mechanical extraction process, which preserves their most valuable compounds.
During the malaxation and centrifugation, temperature, time, and oxygenation are meticulously controlled to prevent defects and keep the aromas and antioxidants intact.
Afterward, the oil is stored in stainless steel tanks, protected from light, air, and heat, to guarantee its stability. Each batch is analyzed, labeled, and traceable, ensuring that the end consumer receives a product of maximum purity and freshness.
Quality control and sensory analysis
A quality olive oil must meet stringent physical, chemical, and organoleptic parameters.
Laboratory analyses determine its acidity, peroxide value, and stability, while tasting panels evaluate its aroma, flavor, and balance.
Only oils without defects, with fruity and fresh aromas, can be considered extra virgin olive oils.
This continuous monitoring ensures consistent excellence batch after batch and reinforces consumer confidence in a transparent, safe, and superior-quality product.
Sustainability and Commitment to the Environment
Quality is not measured solely by flavor, but also by respect for the land and its people. Modern olive oil mills integrate sustainable practices that reduce environmental impact, optimize water use, and manage process waste responsibly.
The utilization of byproducts, emissions reduction, and a commitment to clean energy are part of a work philosophy that seeks to harmonize production with the environment.
Innovation, Traceability, and Consistent Excellence
Olive mills striving for excellence incorporate technological innovation at every stage: temperature sensors, automated process control, digital traceability systems, and predictive quality analysis. This combination of tradition and innovation ensures product consistency, protects its natural properties, and preserves its full sensory richness.
Furthermore, complete traceability, from the olive grove to the bottle, offers total transparency to the consumer, reinforcing trust in the brand and the origin of the oil.
