The founding partners searched for, explored, and considered some twenty properties before arriving at Huerto La Marquesa de Leyda in Chile’s V Region. They were captivated by the emerging valley’s characteristics, took a bet on this essentially untapped area of Chile, and began planting the first 100 hectares in 2006. From their very first harvest in 2008, the fruit (olives) have shown a pronounced concentration of aromas and flavors due to the cool climate and slow ripening of the olives. With a total of 205 hectares, the property has the capacity to produce 2 million kilos of olives per year.

Planting began at second property in Pumanque (VI Region) called El Cerrillo in late 2008. There are now 190 hectares planted in this area with a strong Mediterranean climate and many hours of sunlight and a capacity to produce 700 thousand liters per year

At the end of 2008, the second field, El Cerrillo, began to be planted in Pumanque (Sixth Region). In an area with a very marked Mediterranean climate, with many hours of daylight, this orchard has 190 hectares planted and a capacity to produce 700 thousand liters per year.

El Cerrillo has high-tech mill that allows processing on site the extracting varieties produced, a fundamental characteristic for the production of extra virgin olive oil. The technology for the extraction of the oil is as important as the factors of climate, soil and planted varieties.

Gradually, the company’s productive and operating center moved to this orchard, from where we now supply the growing national and international market.
