Suerte Alta · Olivar Denominación de Origen y Finca Propia · Córdoba y Sevilla

The Estates we have always cared for since the 14th century

255 hectares of certified organic olive groves in Albendín (Córdoba) and another 250 in Mairena del Alcor (Seville). Two family estates with more than seven centuries of history, where organic farming certified since 1996 ensures an AOVE in perfect harmony with nature.

Córdoba · Seville · Spain

An olive grove whose land has been in the family for seven centuries

What for centuries was an old family dehesa began its conversion into olive groves in 1924. Those first roots are today one of the world’s most award-winning organic AOVEs: the same land, cared for by the same family, giving its finest fruits.

TRADITIONAL CENTURY-OLD OLIVE GROVE PRODUCTION

200 hectares of traditional century-old olive groves

Planted more than a century ago by our great-grandparents, by hand and with mules, on a 13 × 13 metre grid that is almost impossible to find today. That spacing between olive trees —far removed from today’s plantations— lets each tree breathe and keeps production minimal, almost artisanal.

From a special 50-hectare plot within this century-old olive grove comes our Coupage Natural, Suerte Alta’s most award-winning AOVE.

Native varieties: Picual, Picuda and Hojiblanca.
Traditional olive grove with three-legged trees and ground cover between rows.
Mechanized harvesting during early harvest.
Irrigated olive trees with an underground drip system.

INTENSIVE ORGANIC OLIVE GROVE CULTIVATION

55 hectares of intensive olive groves

Alongside the century-old olive grove, this part of the estate looks to the future. Planted about 45 years ago on a 7 × 7 metre grid, with single-trunk olive trees designed for more efficient harvesting using modern systems such as inverted umbrella harvesters. We keep the same native varieties and organic farming as always, adding the precision and traceability of today’s technology without giving up an ounce of quality. This is where our Picual en Envero is born.

Intensive grid with single-trunk trees of the Picual variety.
Annual technical pruning to optimize tree productivity and health.
Mechanized harvesting with an inverted umbrella system during early harvest.
Precision irrigation and constant monitoring of every hectare.

SUPER-INTENSIVE HEDGEROW OLIVE GROVE · CORTIJO EL CAÑUELO

250 hectares of super-intensive olive groves

At Cortijo El Cañuelo, in Mairena del Alcor (Seville), also under organic farming, we have committed to super-intensive hedgerow olive groves of the arbequina and arbosana varieties, producing an oil of great fragrance and delicacy.

From here comes, blended with other Suerte Alta plots, our family selection Marqués de Prado.

Organic hedgerow planting of the arbequina and arbosana varieties.
Continuous mechanical harvesting in mid- to late September
Water sustainability with efficient drip irrigation across 80% of the estate.

Certified organic farming since 1996

In 1996, Cortijo de Suerte Alta obtained CAAE certification (Andalusian Committee for Organic Agriculture), becoming one of the first olive oil estates in Andalusia to do so. Today we are backed, at the highest international level, by seals such as USDA Organic in the United States and JAS in Japan. Certification is our response to a way of farming that respects the land, committing us to the future as much as to the past.

Picual

The reigning variety in Andalusia. Intense, fruity, high in polyphenols and very stable.

Hojiblanca

Balanced and harmonious, with a characteristic peppery touch.

Arbequina

Delicate, sweet and aromatic. Ideal in pastry-making or wherever subtlety is called for.

Arbosana

Balanced, with a mild entry and medium intensity. Very stable, with herbaceous freshness.
