BODEGAS ALTANZA, S.A. Producer Country Spain City Fuenmayor Web http://www.bodegasaltanza.com

Contact Name Alberto Anoz Role Area Export Manager

Description “Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working”… These well-known words, attributed to Picasso, aptly encapsulate the Altanza spirit. In our estate, the 160 ha vineyard and 50 ha olive grove are carefully managed throughout the year. Our Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a natural product obtained specifically by physical (non-mechanical) procedures that include cold pressing. It is aromatic and fine, so it is recommended to eat it raw or use for dressing vegetables and salads. This magnificent 100% Arbequina oil has been produced in our VALVARÉS FINCA, located near Galilea, La Rioja, an area with a very characteristic microclimate and a fundamentally silty soil, ideal for the cultivation of the olive grove. For respect for the environment, in our farm we do not use chemical fertilizers, herbicides, or any product that generates toxic waste, which has earned us the certification of "Organic Extra Virgin Olive" with the Organic Farming Registry RI-145-P, that authorizes us to use this denomination and the seal of the European Community of Control Systems of Organic Agriculture.

Olives from our olive groves are processed immediately after harvesting with the most modern techniques and equipment for maximum oil quality

This quality is guaranteed by the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) La Rioja Oil, which ensures strict compliance with the regulations that can guarantee an excellent oil.
