Longer pieces written at the mill in Plasencia: what the seals on a carton stand for, why a press ended up making cosmetics, how each container behaves in a real bathroom, and what an opened jar does over the months that follow.
We press olives in Plasencia, Extremadura, and we put the resulting oil into our skincare line, Olivita. Several of our items carry third-party seals on their labels. These marks show that an outside body checked our formulas, our supply chains, and our mill processes against set standards.
Plant oils differ in weight, slip, and how long they stay on the surface. We bottle our repair oil in a 30 ml dropper bottle at the mill in Plasencia so you can measure small amounts by the drop, whether you use it on the face, through the ends of hair, or over dry patches on the body.
Around the Mediterranean, olive oil was kept on washstands long before it was put into jars. We press extra virgin olive oil in Plasencia, Extremadura, on the same floor where our family has worked since 1932. When a mill makes skincare, the work begins with the fruit rather than a chemical formulation.
At our mill in Plasencia, we choose containers based on how they handle real routines. Heavy glass stays grounded on a bathroom ledge, dark glass protects what sits inside, a flat tube fits into luggage without fuss, and a small tin can take the daily scrape of a coat pocket.
We press extra virgin olive oil at our mill in Plasencia, and that oil forms the base of the Olivita range. Because these are oil-based formulas, light, warmth, and ambient air will alter them over time. Caring for the jar, the tin, or the dropper bottle takes only a few simple habits on the shelf.
