The average mild temperatures similar to the ones in the Mediterranean basin, soft hills and long sunny days during the spring and summer make this land heaven for olive groves to thrive. At 500 ft. over the sea level,only 6 miles away from the Atlantic coast line, lies Quebrada de los Olivos (QO). The process of olive oil making starts in the field, with rigorous sanitary controls and optimal plant caring as well as selective harvesting techniques and the subsequent cold pressing process. In QO's processing plant, cutting edge technology is used in order to preserve the utmost quality of the Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
