Passion, illusion, consistency and love for the land characterize Nobleza del Sur. Three generations create unique olive oils in a team.
The actual foundation for the family business Nobleza del Sur was laid in 1640 by Miguel Sánchez Sagra, a direct ancestor of today's manufacturer. Because Miguel Sánchez Sagra not only acquired the first part of the estate, which is still managed by the family today, but also instilled a love of olive growing in his descendants.
Today, 12 generations later, the Peñuelas-Sagra family owns its own oil mill and more than 300 hectares of olive groves. Because the olive forests are all in Jaén, in Andalusia, but in different areas, different olive oils can be produced. After all, every olive and thus also the oil pressed from it is shaped by its location, the soil conditions and the climate.
All Extra Virgin Olive Oils from Nobleza del Sur are quality oils obtained exclusively from the best fruits. Depending on the location of the corresponding olive grove, different oils with different aromas are produced.
The popular and award-winning Centenarium Premium comes from the finca "Vista Alegre", which is located in the heart of Jaen. The area scores with a special, Mediterranean microclimate, which is partly responsible for the unique aroma and taste nuances of the fruity, pure olive juice.
The olives for the sweet unique Arbequina Premium are harvested on the "El Campillo" finca. It is located in the low mountain range and is surrounded by numerous native plants that also run through the olive grove. In addition to its pleasant mildness, El Campillo's extra virgin olive oil is reminiscent of the wild herbs of the natural olive forest, which also influence its aroma.
For the special Organic Olive Oil Virgen extra Ecológico Night, the fresh fruits are harvested from different, specially selected plots of olive forests. As a reminder of how pesticide use affects wildlife, Eco-Night is represented by an endangered moth.
The single-variety Virgen Extra Ecológico Day is obtained from the Picual olives of certain plots of the "Vista Alegre" finca. The Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil inspires with fruity, green and herbaceous notes. It is represented by an important diurnal pollinator, the bee, which unfortunately is also an endangered species.
In order to protect both the animals threatened with extinction and to respect the rest of the animal and plant world, Nobleza del Sur not only pays attention to environmentally friendly agriculture with its organic oils Ecológico Day and Ecológico Night . Even if the quantity of the unique olive oils is lower as a result, Nobleza del Sur does not allow itself to be misled in using environmentally conscious and environmentally friendly methods whenever possible.
For you as a consumer, this has the advantage that you can not only access Nobleza del Sur with a clear conscience, but at the same time know that you are also doing your health good with the top-class, delicious and pure olive oil to do. With the regular consumption of first-class extra virgin olive oil, arterial blockage and with it heart attacks and strokes can be prevented.
For more than ten years, Nobleza del Sur olive oils have taken part in national and international olive oil competitions and have also been awarded regularly for more than ten years.
Of course, these awards are no coincidence. Because it is only possible to produce such unique olive oils with a lot of passion, with love for the land and love for the olive tree, with commitment and teamwork.
Because three generations work together ideally at Nobleza del Sur, tradition and experience are optimally combined with modernity. Traditional cultivation methods combined with modern, regular checks and analyzes ensure optimal growth of the fruit. Many years of experience determine when the olive has reached the best degree of ripeness for harvesting.
The picked fruits are not kept for long, but are carefully processed in the oil mill after four hours at the latest. This prevents oxidation and you can look forward to wonderful, fruity aromas. The selected olives are cold-pressed using the latest technology, so that the finished olive oil contains the same healthy active ingredients as the fresh olive on the tree.
