Green Gold: Reinos de Taifas Olive Oil

Our Heritage

Since 1700, Reinos de Taifas has been a family-run business that produces high-quality olive oil. We oversee every step from our family farm to your table to ensure that our Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) reaches you fresh so you can enjoy the authentic natural flavour and aroma of perfectly ripened, freshly milled olives.

What Makes Us Special

During harvest, we collect and mill our olives immediately. This guarantees fresh, rich, nutrient-packed olive oil—what we proudly call “Green Gold”.

Where We Are Located

Our olive farm is located in Castro del Rio, Andalucia, in southern Spain. The calcium-rich clay soil here is ideal for growing high-quality olives. The video shows our mill located in Castro del Rio.

Our Traditional and Modern Production Process

Historical Methods

  • Pre-1890: Olive milling was done using animal traction.
  • 1890: We introduced a traditional millstone operated by a beam and stove.
  • 1932: Hydraulic presses replaced manual methods. We also added decanting wells and thermo-filters to separate oil from water naturally.

Modern Techniques

  • 1975: We implemented modern extraction systems that we continue to improve.
  • Today: We use cold centrifugation to extract our green gold, preserving its natural properties and aroma. The process is entirely chemical-free, and stainless steel equipment is used to prevent contamination.

Harvest Season

Our harvest runs from November to February. Once the olives are collected, we prioritise immediate milling to prevent fermentation and degradation and maintain optimal quality.
 

Our Commitment to Quality

After extraction, our EVOO is stored in stainless steel containers to protect it from light, temperature fluctuations, and other external factors. This ensures that our green gold retains freshness, nutrients, and flavour.
