Since 1840
La Española is the oldest and most trusted olive oil brand in Spain. With nearly 200 years of expertise, we are trusted around the world for producing quality extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) and olive oil that is made from 100% Spanish olives.
From our groves in Andalucía to your tables in Australia, the journey of each of our bottles of olive oil is proudly rooted in tradition and craftsmanship.
OUR EVOO ORIGINS
From tree to table, our process reflects generations of craftsmanship and a deep respect for tradition and nature.
For nearly 200 years, we’ve shared the authentic taste of olive oil in all its varieties, celebrating Spain’s rich culinary heritage. What started as a local business has become a global presence in kitchens around the world from Spain and the USA, to Australia and Brazil.
At La Española, our olive oil is more than just an ingredient—it’s part of your everyday life—a trusted companion in the kitchen, a link to cherished traditions, and a contributor to moments shared around the table. Each drop carries with it a story of passion, heritage, and the joy of cooking together!
TimeLine
Our story is one of passion and tradition, guided by love for authentic Spanish flavour. Since 1840, we’ve brought our EVOO to tables worldwide—evolving with each generation while staying true to the spirit that first defined us nearly two centuries ago.
