The beginning of each story (at least in the eyes of the one telling it) is always peculiar to the hero of the story. It evolves in a setting of distinct circumstances and conditions unlike the ones that exist in the stories of others.
Our story (for us) is highly original, almost in a way, in which we ourselves differ from others. But the passage we travel in life is often the same and our originality is often a match to our predictability. So, with that in mind and remembering the words of Thomas Carlyle: “The merit of originality is not novelty; it is sincerity” - here is our story.
The story of Peninsula Hacienda El Tesorito started a few years back when, at the time of the pandemic, we came into possession of an olive grove near Ronda.
At the time we were not looking to start a business, the ability to have a small quantity of extra virgin olive oil for personal consumption was a welcome addition to living in the heart of the Ronda region, which we embraced with all our hearts.
Over the years that followed we have learned how to take care of our olive grove throughout the year, how to improve the harvest, how to collect olives and, of course, how to turn them into the oil.
Acquisition of the initial knowledge led to a development of interest and desire to learn more, which we did by taking courses in olive grove management and olive oil making.
Over the years we shared our olive oil with many of our friends, who constantly encouraged us to turn this hobby into a business venture. So, finally, and having surrendered to popular demand, we are happy to present to you our extra virgin olive oil.
The name of our brand Hacienda El Tesorito (in similarity to the texture of our story) is the one of discovery, opportunity and purpose. Discovery - of good quality fruit (olive), opportunity - to create a quality product, purpose- of sharing this product with you.
