This award celebrates the entity's track record and its commitment to technology applied to agriculture, particularly recognizing its SAPAL project. This initiative has been instrumental in redefining olive grove management through a circular economy approach.
The SAPAL project is notable for its industrial-scale biogas generation, using olive pomace, a byproduct of oil extraction, as a raw material for renewable energy. It also converts mill waste into ecological biostimulants and biopesticides.
The Estepa Designation of Origin views this award as recognition of the efforts of its member farmers, positioning the region as a leader in water efficiency, resource utilization, and environmental stewardship.
Oleoestepa thus demonstrates the compatibility between producing high-quality olive oil and protecting the natural environment.
