Why Oliflix?

Since most olive oils use similar extraction methods, most experts agree that the single most significant difference in quality is derived from how the olives are grown & harvested.

Located adjacent to nature and wildlife preserve, Antonio Rey Solé inherited his centuries-old olive orchard from his ancestors. Like his forefathers, he has never used a pesticide or fertilizer, nor does he even water his orchards.

Granite Stone Mill

With winter warehouse temperatures hovering around 15º Celsius/59º Fahrenheit, the olives are first ground into a paste using giant granite stone mills, minimizing the malaxing time.
