What CAECV Organic Actually Means
CAECV — the Comité de Agricultura Ecológica de la Comunitat Valenciana — isn't a private eco-label; it's the official control authority the regional government appoints to certify organic production under EU law. The certification covers the whole chain: growing, harvesting, storage, and bottling are all subject to inspection, and using the words "ecológico," "orgánico," or "bio" on a label is legally restricted to operators who hold it. For our farmers, that means no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, full traceability from grove to bottle, and an annual inspection to keep the certification current.
Caring for the Soil
The regenerative part isn't a separate program — it's built into how the groves are already run. Cover crops planted between the olive rows return organic matter to the soil and hold it in place through the region's heavy autumn rains, instead of leaving bare ground to erode. Integrated pest management means natural predators do the work chemical sprays would otherwise do, which keeps the soil's own biology intact instead of disrupted. The groves aren't irrigated at all — they rely on rainfall alone, which means the soil never sees the compaction or salt buildup that comes with any irrigation system, efficient or not.
Single-Origin, Every Bottle
Our extra virgin olive oil comes exclusively from one region in València, Spain — we never blend with oil from other producers or regions. Every bottle traces back to the same groves, the same cooperative, the same terroir, harvest after harvest.
From Grove to Bottle, Within Hours
The olives are hand-selected, then cold-extracted within hours of picking, which is what keeps the oil's polyphenols and flavor from fading before it's even bottled. Every batch is tested before release.
