Once the vast majority
of the olive groves has reached its productive
stage at the end of 2004 we started building
of the olive mill. That modern mill is located
in the most
strategic location of the “hacienda”;
both mill and olive tree plantation together
are the essential parts of HACIENDA IBER,
the agroindustrial complex that gives name
to our brand.
The olive mill is located on the peninsula
projected into the waters of the lake of
Mequinenza. It harbours the most modern
technology to obtain extra virgin olive
oil and also other installations that make
of HACIENDA IBER a
new concept in the world of the olive oil.
The perfect integration of the olive mill
within the plantation, the closed agroindustrial
cycle, the traceability of the product and
raw materials, the loving care from
tree to bottle are all part of the
concept on which HACIENDA IBER is based.
It is a working philosophy directed to obtain
the highest possible quality in the Extra
Virgin Olive Oil; in this sense,
the final products are real “Chateaus”
of the olive oil industry.
Relying on the tradition
and experience of the olive oil industry
in the “Bajo Aragón”
and on the most modern installations and
equipment, the oil mill is a real model
for the whole of Spain.
As a production centre for real “Chateau”
among
the oils, the main facilities allow
activities for a better knowledge
and understanding of the cultural aspects
of the olive oil industry, with dining
rooms, tasting room, classroom for special
training. Also cultural and sports activities
can be practiced in the natural park where
the “finca” is located.
The final proposal is to develop a new
concept of tourism called “oil
tourism”, based on visits to
the agro-industrial complex, the plantation
and the olive mill and also to develop sport
and cultural activities in the area.
