CORTIJO DE SUERTE ALTA, S.L.

 Cortijo de Suerte Alta is a family company of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Our olive oil’s secret is knowing how to combine family olive-picking tradition and history with the latest production methods, maintaining the strictest control over the process from flower to final bottled product with the strictest essential criteria.   In 1986 Manuel Heredia, Marquis of Prado inherits the premises, property of the family since the 14th century, becoming the current owner and taking over Suerte Alta. The farm is located in Albendín, in the Córdoba province in Spain. It consists of 255 hectares of watered olive groves, with olive trees between 10 and 90 years old, of local and traditional varieties - Picudo, Picual and Hojiblanca – planted intermingled in order to favor pollination and in order to control different production between crops.  

In 1996 we started the conversion of the farm to organic under the supervision of the C.A.A.E. (Organic Agriculture Committee of Andalucía) in order to guarantee the absence of any residue in the oil and to maintain the soil’s richness of life and nutrients.  

In 2006 we built the new oil press in the center of the farm in order to close the production cycle within the premises and to manufacture an exclusive extra virgin olive oil which satisfies four characteristics: produced and bottled within the premises, organically produced, certified by Baena Designation of Origin (D.O.) and a member of the QvExtra! International Association.  

Our olive oils, found in the most important markets, fairs and competitions, have been awarded numerous quality prizes that endorse this genuine natural olive juice
