Finca la Gramanosa was born 30 years ago. It is the fruit of the passion for the olive tree, a tree which after each harvest rewards its carers with a highly precious product: its best olives.
Mauricio Botton, grandson of the founder of the brand Danone, Isaac Carasso, selected the best estates located in the hills of Avinyonet del Penedès and Mont-roig, in the Catalan regions of Alt Penedès and Baix Camp, in the south of Barcelona.
At present, these olive fields produce some of
the most recognised extra virgin olive oils in the world.
“When Mauricio and Carlota asked me to be in charge of this project, I accepted the challenge because I knew that we had the best olive fields and one of the most technologically advanced oil mills in the world”, says Paolo Miceli. Miceli joined La Gramanosa in 2013 as its CEO due to his experience in business management, and with the goal of producing the best extra virgin olive oil in the world.
“My first job was
to create a great team, therefore I invited Duccio Morozzo to the estate.
Morozzo is an internationally recognised advisor in the olive tree and oil
sector. The first time he visited the estate, he immediately fell in love with
the project and saw its full potential. Since then he has committed himself to achieving
the goals set by the owners.”
“With the
addition of Duccio and the rest of the staff members, the implementation of the
most innovative processes in the world, and as a consequence of the passion and
love we feel for this soil and our olive trees, we have been able to cultivate
and produce one of the best extra virgin olive oils in the world.”
“La Gramanosa’s
olive trees are provided with enough space to grow happily and to make sure
that every single leaf gets as much sunlight as possible.
This is the way
to grow a healthy tree that will be able to give a high-quality fruit”.
“Our olive-oil
mill is considered to be one of the most modern ones in the world. It allows us
to produce our distinctive extra virgin oil with its own aromas, flavours, and
touches. The advanced technology we use always goes together with care, love and
passion for the growing and the production processes, which are essential conditions
to produce one the best extra virgin olive oils in the world.”
“When taking full care of the quality of our excellent
olives, there are two essential factors: processing them immediately and
controlling their temperature in order to keep it under 25ºC during the whole
process. This is how the oils produced at Finca La Gramanosa are created.”
