Olive oil mill in Vellisca, Cuenca

Olivares de Altomira is a family-run olive oil mill located in the small town of Vellisca, in the Alcarria region of Cuenca, where we are passionately dedicated to the production of Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO). Our oil has Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status, guaranteeing its authenticity and quality. Furthermore, we promote olive oil culture through olive oil tourism experiences, introducing our visitors to the fascinating process of extra virgin olive oil production.

Our project

Olivares de Altomira was created with the aim of producing a high-quality organic extra virgin olive oil, valuing the natural resources of the area and promoting sustainable development in a region facing depopulation.

We are a family business with a long agricultural history, driven by enthusiasm, perseverance and teamwork.

We are in Vellisca, a village in the Alcarria region of Cuenca, located at the foot of the Sierra de Altomira mountain range, in a protected natural environment.



The olive groves

Organic olive groves by tradition

The name of our oil is a tribute to our beloved mountain range. Our olive trees are scattered across small plots within the protected natural area of the Sierra de Altomira, amidst thyme, juniper, rosemary, gall oaks, and other vegetation that has remained unchanged for centuries.



In 2010, Olivares de Altomira undertook the project to recover centuries-old olive groves abandoned in recent decades as a result of the gradual depopulation of the region.

Environmental sustainability

We work with respect for a traditional farming system inherited over generations, thus ensuring environmental sustainability and the rich biodiversity of our mountain range.



We continue to preserve the way of working the land inherited from past generations, and we have not changed the centuries-old way of life of the olive grove: we till the soil, we will harvest its fruit and we will prune after the harvest and always, without artificial irrigation or any chemical treatment, as has traditionally been the case.
