Oleoestepa, the leading Spanish cooperative society known for its extra virgin olive oils, has approved a new investment plan focused on two strategic projects designed to reinforce quality control and expand packaging capabilities.
The first project involves the creation of a modern analytical laboratory to monitor the quality of extra virgin olive oil produced by its 19 associated mills. The facility, scheduled to be operational by the start of the 2026/2027 campaign, will feature expanded space for physicochemical analysis, new instrumental equipment, sensory analysis rooms and specialized storage .
The second initiative is the installation of a new production line at its packaging plant. Expected to come online during the second half of 2026, this line aims to increase operational capacity and allow for a wider range of special formats and complementary finishes.
The investments come as the cooperative celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2026.
Álvaro Olavarría, managing director of Oleoestepa, commented: “This investment plan in our packaging plant, exclusive for extra virgin olive oils, reinforces our commitment to innovation and continuous improvement, with a focus on quality, excellence, and the ability to respond with solvency to market needs”.
