aceiteraabuela
We are a young company from Madrid, which has wanted to combine the family olive-growing tradition with the most advanced technology in the production of organic extra virgin olive oil. Thus, by taking care of our olive trees with ecological agronomic techniques, harvesting the olives at the optimum moment and producing the oil in our plant, we achieve absolute control, from cultivation to packaging, of our ecological extra virgin olive oil. Our system is mostly rainfed, thus obtaining more flavor, greater concentration and aroma.
La Aceitera de la Abuela is named after Doña Patrocinio Ruiz, the first owner of the hacienda on which our oil mill rests. The beginning of this story goes back more than a hundred years. In the absence of a comfortable life in the small town of Titulcia, grandparents Alfonso and Patrocinio traveled to the lands of Cuba in search of opportunities, taking with them the spirit of work and sacrifice that makes this family special. In this new adventure, the grandparents built a small fruit business, and managed to make a fortune. When fortune was on their side, they saw the moment to return to their town, their home. They reached Titulcia again, again on the banks of the Tajuña and Jarama. They bought a large farm in the town, which included an old flour mill known among the locals as "the Factory Downstairs".
This young company that remembers its past with pride and looks to the future with enthusiasm, and that continues to grow today thanks to Pedro and his young son Pedro Andrés. Enlarging even more the fruit born from the seed of the earth and nurtured by years of experience and wisdom, by each drop of sweat spilled on these soils, by the essence of nature. To be able to share it with the people of today, and of tomorrow.
Mantua Carpetana
The name of Mantua Carpetana tries to recall the denomination that since the end of the s. XV gave Madrid some Italian humanists (Mantua Carpetanorum), such as Pedro Mártir de Anglería in his famous work «Epistolarium». This denomination continued in some cultural circles throughout the s. XVI, and for this reason it was kept on the famous map of the cartographer Pedro Texeira of 1656. At the bottom of the quality oil label «Aceite de Madrid», a detail of the plan is reproduced where you can see «the Plaza Mayor» that stands out inside the road network due to its regular appearance and "El Jardín del Moro" next to the Manzanares River. Mantua Carpetana is the expression of our monovarietal oils. These have a special quality, because the olive is harvested and its juice is made in its earliest state of maturity, obtaining its youngest nuances. The varieties we use in the production of these oils are "Cornicabra", "Picual" and "Arbequina" and a Premium selection of "Coupage". For them we use packaging that guarantees their quality, also presenting them with careful aesthetics.
