OUR
HISTORY

On the northern slopes of the Sierra Nevada, where the wind whispers through centuries-old olive trees and the light of the setting sun paints the Granada countryside in gold, lies Guadix, the cradle of a tradition that beats to the rhythm of olive oil. In this fertile, bountiful land, steeped in history, Echinac was born, the fruit of a passion that, since 1964, has followed the trail of the golden juice extracted from the olive.

From Guadix to the world

For over six decades, we have selected the finest olives from each harvest, picked at their peak ripeness, to produce an extra virgin olive oil that is not only a premium food, but also a testament to our heritage. With the landscape of Guadix as our backdrop, where olive trees bend to the sun and hold secrets passed down through generations, our commitment has been crystal clear: to cultivate quality, honor tradition, love the land, and share our finest oils with Spain and the world.

Guadix is ​​not just a place: it’s a whisper of the past, an enclave where windmills echo in the morning mist and mountains hold memories of ancient trade routes and olive groves. On these slopes, every olive becomes a promise. And we, at Echinac, have dedicated more than 60 years to fulfilling it.

Land and tradition, love and passion

Because we believe that quality begins in the land, our goal has always been to produce a superior quality olive oil. Tradition, respect for the fruit, and the knowledge passed down from generation to generation are our pillars.

Today, in the olive groves of Guadix, each sunrise reminds us that working the land is also an act of love. And every drop of our oil carries that feeling: the feeling of the olive grove stretching under open skies, the olive ripening in the sun, and the cloud drifting slowly over the branches. In each bottle, we leave the fresh aroma, the golden-green color, and the fruity flavor that can only spring from a land that respects its traditions.

Andalusia on your palate

Thus, at Echinac, we transform the history of Guadix and its olive groves into a liquid narrative, ready for the table, ready to be shared. Because when you taste our oil, you’re not just tasting a product: you’re savoring a story, a landscape, a heritage that originates in the land and reaches your palate.
