Olive Auction built this page from public records so buyers can find the estate. Its own people can claim it at no cost — complete the story, list lots, answer buyers.
After a claim, we confirm by emailEverything here comes from public sources — award lists, certification registers, the territory inventories. The rest of the story — the family, the grove, the real age of the trees, this year's lab sheet — only the mill can tell, and it is the part buyers bid on.
Casas de Hualdo sits at El Carpio de Tajo, on the banks of the Tagus in Toledo province, on ground the estate links to Visigothic heritage. Francisco Riberas bought the first hectares there in 1984. The olive planting came later: the first groves went in from 1996 and the first harvest was taken in 1999, across four varieties — Arbequina, Picual, Cornicabra and Manzanilla. The Grandes Pagos de Olivar register puts the estate at more than 300,000 trees, between 400 and 600 metres.
Everything is handled on site. The mill stands at the foot of the field to keep the interval between picking and pressing short, and the operation has widened out around it: dairy sheep from 2006, an artisan cheese works in 2021, an organic orchard of some eight hectares and more than 800 fruit trees from 2023, and three solar installations covering about 30 per cent of the energy used. Reserva de Familia, the flagship, is a coupage drawn from the first week of harvest across the estate's varieties.
What put the mill on the record was 2012. The Spanish Association of Olive Municipalities, AEMO, named it the best olive oil mill in Spain, and the same year the Italian association MolisExtra gave the estate first prize in its Extrascape competition, judged on the landscape of the grove. The Italian guide Flos Olei first listed the oils in 2014.
