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.
Oleoestepa was formed in 1986 as a second-degree cooperative — a cooperative of cooperatives — bringing fourteen mills in the Estepa district of Seville under one structure; its own timeline dates the founding to 26 April of that year. Forty years on, the group draws fruit from more than 7,500 growers farming around 60,000 hectares, more than ten million trees worked under integrated and organic production, and cold-extracts it at nineteen associated mills across the provinces of Seville, Córdoba and Málaga. The mills joined one at a time: Pontanense at Puente Genil in 1993, La Inmaculada at La Roda de Andalucía in 1999, Arbequisur in 2001, San Juan at Villanueva de San Juan as the seventeenth in 2014, Agrojara at Martín de la Jara as the eighteenth in 2020, and Virgen de la Oliva at Mollina as the nineteenth in 2021.
The Protected Designation of Origin that frames the work took shape alongside it. Its regulatory council was constituted in February 2003, the designation was officially recognised by the Junta de Andalucía in September 2004, and the European Union entered it as a PDO in October 2010, covering hojiblanca, arbequina, manzanilla, picual and lechín across the Estepa district and Puente Genil.
Oleoestepa launched its premium Estepa Virgen range in 2008, and its own timeline records a Mario Solinas first prize from the International Olive Council in 2013. In 2026 a member cooperative, Nuestra Señora de la Fuensanta of Corcoya, took the same body's first prize for medium green fruitiness, judged against 123 Northern Hemisphere entries.
