Hacienda Queiles is located in the Queiles Valley, very close to the border of Aragon where it rises toward Moncayo, the highest peak of the Iberian Mountain Range. From this mountain springs the second largest river in the Iberian Peninsula, The Ebro, which feeds the Queiles River that gives its name to the valley and oil mill.
The olive grove, located on stony-limestone soils, faces a particular climate of strong contrasts with extreme temperatures in both winter and summer and little rainfall. The little-known Arróniz olive variety was first introduced by the Phoenicians over 2000 years ago and has evolved to cope with these conditions. Hacienda Queiles continues this ancient tradition of olive oil production combining the best of old and new thinking. With their state-of-the-art mill located on the grove, the fruits are harvested and delivered to the press within 4 hours, and they can oversee every detail of the oil production.
This oil is certified with 100% ecological agricultural practices producing EVOOs without any chemical synthesis residue.
