Finca la Torre

Finca la Torre’s world renowned premium olive oil  comes from Antequera in Malaga. Managed by Víctor Pérez Serrano, the estate’s regenerative farming practices result in a high polyphenol olive oil packed with antioxidants.from biodynamic groves in the heart of Andalucía, Spain. 

Victor leads a new wave of olive oil producers who have opted to focus on  quality or “top of the line olive oil” over quantity and it’s paid off. Finca la Torre wins best in class awards year after year and is always on Flos Olei’s Wall of Fame 

At Finca la Torre, tradition is fused with cutting edge thinking and technology. The estate itself dates back to Roman times and there are still columns and remnants of an ancient olive mill dotted around the property which measures 380 hectares. Only 230 of these are dedicated to olive trees. The rest is pastures and woodlands and this diverse ecosystem is the backbone of the company’s approach to production.

Certified Organic and Biodynamic Olive Oil 

Finca la Torre’s cultivation is certified organic and biodynamic. The biodynamic approach to farming and cultivation is a method that was introduced by Rudolph Steiner at the beginning of the 20th century. It sees the farm as an integrated living organism made up of interdependent fields, forests, plants, animals, soils, compost, and people. This fosters optimum soil health and fertility and allows animals and plants to coexist with minimum human intervention. At Finca la Torre animals are used to control weeds and add fertilization to the groves along with crushed olive pulp from the  mill.

There are a total of 34,000 olive trees made up of ancient olive groves (nearly 10,000 of the trees were planted back in 1840) of the hojiblanca variety along with 100 hectares of intensive olive groves where Hojiblanca, Arbequina, Picudo and Cornicabra olives are grown. As recently as 2019, 6,400 trees were planted on the property.
