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.
Rincón de la Subbética is bottled by Almazaras de la Subbética, a first-grade agricultural cooperative with its mill at Carcabuey, inside the Sierras Subbéticas natural park in Córdoba. It was formed in July 2007 out of a merger of two older cooperatives: S.C.A. Virgen del Castillo, founded in 1954, and S.C.A. Olivarera Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno, whose origins the cooperative places in the early 1960s. It has kept absorbing neighbours since — the Cooperativa Agrícola de Rute in 2020, Nuestra Señora de las Penas at Encinas Reales in 2023, Nuestra Señora de la Cabeza at El Cañuelo in 2024 — and now speaks for 7,800 member families.
The oil is a monovarietal Hojiblanca, organically grown, picked in the first days of the campaign and certified under the Priego de Córdoba protected designation of origin: a regulatory council constituted in 1995, entered in the European Union register on 4 October 1999, covering 29,628 hectares across Priego de Córdoba, Carcabuey, Almedinilla and Fuente-Tójar.
In 2025 the World's Best Olive Oils ranking placed Rincón de la Subbética first in both its overall and its organic tables, and the EVOO World Ranking also placed it first. In 2024 it took Platinum at the Berlin Global Olive Oil Awards and at the London International Olive Oil Competition, and Gold at the NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition and at the Los Angeles competition, where it was also named best of class among robust oils.
