Introduction to Oils of Malaga

Unique Varieties and Ancient Tradition

Málaga is a province renowned for the exceptional quality of its extra virgin olive oils (EVOO), the result of a tradition that combines ancient techniques with modern innovations. Three main regions stand out: Antequera, Axarquía, and the Guadalhorce Valley, each with its own unique characteristics that contribute diversity and sensorial richness to the oils produced.

The Antequera region is especially famous for the Hojiblanca variety, protected under the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) "Aceites de Antequera." These oils are characterized by their intense green color, fresh aromas, and balanced flavor with herbaceous nuances and a slight bitterness. Furthermore, the Axarquía region is home to a unique variety: the Verdial de Vélez, whose oils stand out for their sweet, smooth, and highly fruity flavor, ideal for raw consumption. The Guadalhorce Valley, although less known for its oil production, brings uniqueness thanks to the Manzanilla Aloreña variety, the first table olive with a PDO in Spain, which is also used in delicate and aromatic oils.

Harvesting in Málaga combines traditional methods, such as the manual shaking typical of mountainous areas, with modern mechanized systems in more accessible terrain, thus ensuring the freshness and quality of the fruit at every stage of the process. This blend of tradition and technological innovation guarantees olive oils that are internationally recognized for their purity, flavor, and sensorial excellence.

Olive oil production is fundamental to the economy of the province of Málaga, generating direct employment for more than 22,000 families and boosting the local economy in more than 60 oil mills throughout the region. Cooperatives play a key role, particularly Dcoop, a world-leading cooperative based in Antequera, which represents an exemplary model of cooperative management, distributing profits equitably among farmers and positioning Málaga olive oil in high-value international markets.

Malaga's olive oil sector is deeply committed to sustainability. Many olive oil mills have organic and integrated production certifications, guaranteeing environmentally friendly methods, soil conservation, and efficient water use. Furthermore, in recent years, several cooperatives have achieved international certifications such as Sustainably Grown®, demonstrating their leadership in sustainable agricultural practices.

This sustainable approach, combined with local seals such as "Sabor a Málaga," not only guarantees the highest quality and traceability of the olive oil, but also strengthens the image of Málaga olive oil as a premium, responsible, and authentically traditional product. These initiatives ensure that Málaga extra virgin olive oil continues to stand out internationally as a symbol of quality and environmental commitment.
