More than 70 years ago, Mr. Muela Mateo Velasco, the founder of Mueloliva, recognized that the future of olive oil lay in preserving tradition rather than focusing on mass production. His visionary decision demonstrated that in the olive oil industry, prioritizing quality over quantity leads to the best results—an approach well ahead of its time. Mueloliva, located in Priego de Córdoba, sits on a fertile plain at the base of the Sierras Subbéticas, where mountains and olive trees dominate the scenery.

The region’s unique microclimate, marked by high rainfall and significant temperature fluctuations, combined with the mountainous landscape, creates distinct characteristics that set it apart from other areas. Thanks to Muela Oil Mill’s exclusive and innovative extraction process, which uses no water or heat, all the olive oil’s natural attributes are preserved. This results in extra virgin olive oil rich in tocopherols, phytosterols, and phenols, essential nutritional components.
