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.
Palacio de los Olivos is the oil of Olivapalacios, a family business at Almagro in Ciudad Real, in the Campo de Calatrava. The family farm, Los Palacios, had been in agriculture for more than three decades, largely in cereals, before the olive project started in 2009. The ground is what the estate points to: soils of volcanic origin which it credits for their nutrient content. The grove runs to about 280 hectares, planted to Picual, Arbequina and Arbosana, and the fruit is milled on the estate by mechanical cold extraction. The company is a member of QvExtra! International, the association of high-quality extra virgin producers.
Two monovarietals carry the label, a Picual and an Arbequina, and both have been rewarded in the same places year after year. The EVOO World Ranking has placed the Picual first in its variety across nine consecutive campaigns, from 2016-17 to 2025-26, and has put the Arbequina first three times. Spain's Ministry of Agriculture gave the estate its Alimentos de España award for best extra virgin olive oil in the sweet fruity category for 2020.
The estate's published tally for 2025 lists Gold for both varieties at the NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition, the London International Olive Oil Competition, EVO IOOC in Italy, Olive Japan and the China IOOC; double Gold at Athena in Greece; Grand Prestige Gold at Terraolivo in Israel and Olivinus in Argentina; and Best in Class for the Picual at the Afro-Asian competition in Saudi Arabia.
