The tradition of an ANDALUSIAN OLIVE GROVE

“Quaryat Dillar” is old Andalusian for Village of Dílar. This olive mill follows agricultural ways and means from a culture that goes back hundreds of years and it embraces the care that the farmers give their olive groves with tradition, ecology and innovation.

Almazara Quaryat Dillar is a family run traditional olive mill in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains of Granada province. They produce exceptional quality extra virgin olives using Picual, Arbequina and Lechin olives.

Mission-“To manufacture and market a premium local product by devoting all the resources at our disposal for the overall benefit of the precious land we call home”. Values-“Preservation of our surroundings, tradition and innovation” . Vision- “To create a reputation in the national and international markets for a local product, to consolidate its personality and distinctiveness in the demanding extra virgin olive oil industry.”

The secret of our extra virgin olive oil is visible to all, the peaks of Sierra Nevada Mountains. In the foothills , between 1,000 and 1,300 meters of altitude, the light and mountain air create special conditions unique in the world that are transmitted to the olive fruit. Combining traditional wisdom and the most advanced technologies the quality of the oil is guaranteed with a system of cultivation and production that is sustainable with the environment, backed by the certifications of Organic and Integrated Production in addition to being certified as a natural product of the Natural Park of Sierra Nevada.

The fruit of the Sierra Nevada olive trees is a delicacy in itself, grown in a natural environment with unique characteristics. Converting this fruit into an extra virgin olive oil of the same quality requires experience and special resources. At the Quaryat Dillar oil mill we have this knowledge and tools to make an olive juice from natural processes, attending to tradition and introducing innovation from the respect of the oil culture.

Caring for the natural environment and constant study to improve our oil are two principles of our work. The processes of recycling and regeneration of by-products (biomass boiler, solar panels, Led lights) allow us to return to nature what it gives us.
