Olive oil

Oil can reach us from the olive peasants via the agricultural cooperative where they are incorporated; in Spain a 33% of the oil is produced by agricultural cooperatives and the rest by enterprises. The cooperative where there is the mill, extracts the oil, packages it and sells it, either at the very same place (then it is called agrarian shops) or at other shops. Buying at the agrarian shops let us know in a very direct way the origin of the nourishment we are consuming and to enhance the rural world.

In Spain, France, Italy, Greece and Slovenia, the Protected Origin Denominations and the Protected Geographical Indicator identify products that cannot be produced with the same characteristics elsewhere than in the zone indicated by the DOP or IGP. Let us buy oil that offers us guarantees of quality and origin.

Waste is ever-increasing all over the world and few of it is recyclable. It is necessary to reduce as much as we can the use of packaging, mainly of materials more difficult to recycle.
