Tradition & innovation
VIANOLEO’s family tradition in the world of olive groves dates back to the 18th century, more than 200 years of experience in the management and monitoring of olive groves. At present, we have more than 350 hectares of land and more than 200,000 olive trees in production, all of them located between the towns of Guareña and Don Benito (Badajoz. Extremadura).
Our team transports the harvested olives daily to our mill, in which we grind the olives from only our olive grove, so the traceability of our extra virgin olive oils is 100% guaranteed.
The harvested olives are ground on the same day of harvest, in a period of less than 4 hours. This part of the process is essential to obtain the highest quality extra virgin olive oils, since we avoid oxidation, fermentation of the fruit, and obtaining a very low degree of acidity, characteristic of our oils.
Our oil mill has state-of-the-art grinding and pressing systems, seeking quality in each of the processes in our value chain.
VIANOLEO produces extremely high quality extra virgin olive oils under iO and Surat brands. All our olive oils have very exclusive and differentiating attributes, resulting in local extra virgin olive oils of proven quality and innovative design.
