HISTORY
JAENCOOP GROUP
United for strength
A shared passion for olives
El GRUPO JAENCOOP NACE EN 1986 DE LA PASIÓN DE AGRICULTORES Y EL COMPROMISO DE ALMAZARAS, EN SU MAYORIA CON UNA TRAYECTORIA DE MÁS DE 50 AÑOS
JAENCOOP GROUP was founded in 1986, when several cooperative mills of the province of Jaén most of them with over 50 years of experience decided to join their passion for their work and their commitment to the olive oil sector, in order to set up a group of farmers specialized in producing and marketing a very high quality olive oil. The Group´s philosophy is based on the respect for their origins and for the reason of their existence: the tradition of a 100% natural olive juice.
Since then, Jaencoop Group has worked very hard to become a major cooperative Group in the production of olive oil in the province of Jaén and a worldwide benchmark because of its size, the quality of its products and its customer service.
Nowadays it gathers over 14,000 farmers (associates) and over nine million olive trees mostly of the picual variety, although with an increasing number of the arbequina variety.
Jaencoop Group´s production comes from the groves located throughout over twenty municipalities of the PROVINCE OF JAEN, in the Mountain Range of Cazorla, Segura y las Villas and in the areas of El Condado and La Loma, a geographical location defined by a particular weather and a specific relief, both of which enhance the organoleptic attributes of the oil, conferring it a very special flavour.
