SPAIN

The legendary family bought their first mill in 1795, but concentrated mainly on winemaking until the phylloxera plague ruined their vineyards. She then turned to olive oil production with a passion that persists today. There are over a dozen olive oil mills in Baena, a municipality of some 21,000 inhabitants and an olive oil Designation of Origin (D.O.) of the same name. But this mill is undoubtedly the most emblematic and is reputed to be the mill's top-of-the-range product - Flor de Aceite (olive oil flower), which is hand-labeled and numbered to enhance traceability.
