Olive Oil Producers in Spain for B2B Sourcing
Spain is often perceived as one enormous olive oil factory. In practice, the market is considerably more complex.
Behind the headline production figures are thousands of farmers, cooperative olive mills, major industrial groups, refining facilities, owners of international brands, and companies that bottle oil under their clients' private labels. Some focus primarily on bulk shipments, others specialize in finished packaged products, while others concentrate on premium oils with controlled origin.
Choosing a Spanish supplier solely on the basis of company size or brand recognition is therefore risky. A large group may not support the required packaging format. A cooperative with thousands of members may not disclose the volume available for a specific transaction. A company with international brands does not necessarily offer bulk oil or private-label production.
This overview covers ten prominent participants in the Spanish market. It is not a ranking and does not attempt to place the companies in any particular order. Its purpose is different: to show how their business models differ and which sourcing requirements each company may be suited to.
The information is current as of August 2026.
The Spanish market after a high-volume crop year
According to preliminary data from Spain's Ministry of Agriculture, the country had produced approximately 1.30 million metric tons of olive oil by June 30, 2026.
A total of 1,861 olive mills, facilities where olives are processed into oil, operated during the crop year.
Almost three-quarters of national production came from Andalusia. The region produced approximately 972,500 metric tons. Jaén remained the industry's main production center, with output of around 387,200 metric tons. Córdoba produced approximately 246,700 metric tons.
This geography matters to buyers, but it does not provide a definitive answer regarding product quality or availability. A company's location in Jaén or Córdoba does not necessarily mean that it has an available lot in the required category, origin, and packaging format.
The market balance from October 2025 through June 2026 was as follows:
- approximately 289,700 metric tons of opening stocks;
- approximately 1.30 million metric tons of new production;
- approximately 200,600 metric tons of imports;
- 362,800 metric tons of domestic consumption;
- 745,300 metric tons shipped outside Spain;
- 682,300 metric tons of stocks at the end of June.
The final figure appears substantial, but it should not be interpreted as a volume freely available on the market and waiting for buyers. Total stocks include oils from different categories, crop years, origins, and intended uses. Some volumes have already been contracted, some are intended for refining, and some are held within the cooperative system until more favorable selling conditions emerge.
What Spain exports
From October 2025 through May 2026, Spain exported approximately 660,000 metric tons of products classified under CN 1509, with a total value of about €3.01 billion.
Extra virgin olive oil accounted for approximately 68% of shipment volume and 73% of shipment value.
Olive-pomace oil is recorded separately under CN 1510. From October 2025 through March 2026, Spain exported approximately 52,500 metric tons of these products, valued at around €142 million.
These figures cannot simply be added together. They cover different product categories and different reporting periods.
For buyers, these distinctions are even more important than they are for statistical reporting. The general term "olive oil" covers several different products:
- extra virgin olive oil;
- virgin olive oil;
- lampante olive oil, which requires further processing;
- refined olive oil;
- blends based on refined and unrefined olive oil;
- olive-pomace oil.
These products differ in price, intended use, production technology, and labeling requirements. A supplier inquiry that simply states "olive oil required" is therefore almost always too broad.
Why company size does not provide the full picture
Spanish producers disclose very different performance indicators.
One company may report the volume of olives processed during a crop year. Another publishes its daily refining capacity. A cooperative may state the number of families and farmers it represents. An association of olive mills may disclose the total cultivated area or storage capacity. An international group may report revenue and the number of brands in its portfolio.
All of these figures are useful, but they describe different aspects of the business.
The volume of olives processed is not the same as the volume of finished oil. Tank capacity does not equal uncommitted inventory. Group revenue does not show how much oil was produced in Spain. The number of cooperative members does not indicate the size of a lot available for immediate purchase.
For this reason, the companies in this overview are assessed according to four criteria:
- their role in the production chain;
- the oil categories they handle;
- the supply formats they publicly confirm;
- the type of buyer their business model appears best suited to.
Supplier overview
| Company | Business model | Potential value for buyers | Scale indicator |
| Acesur | Industrial production group | Processing, refining, olive-pomace oil, and multiple facilities | Indicators for individual plants |
| Almazaras de la Subbética | Cooperative | Cooperative origin and regional specialization | Approximately 7,800 families |
| BAIEO | Producer and bottler | Bulk supply and private-label bottling | Three production facilities |
| Castillo de Canena | Vertically integrated company | Premium oil, proprietary olive mill, and contract bottling | Full production cycle with no disclosed tonnage |

| Migasa | Multi-category group | Several olive oil categories within one portfolio | Broad product range |
| Oleoestepa | Association of producers | Regional origin and network of farming operations | 19 mills and more than 7,500 producers |
| Sovena | Industrial and bottling group | Private-label oil and a broad range of packaging formats | Several facilities in Spain |
The indicators in the final column are not directly comparable. They are included only to clarify each company's structure and business profile.
Acesur
An industrial group with multiple production facilities
Acesur is notable primarily for the scale and diversity of its operations.
Facilities in Mora de Toledo, La Roda de Andalucía, Puente del Obispo, Vilches, Jabalquinto, and Dos Hermanas are involved in olive oil production and processing.
Publicly available information shows the specialization of individual facilities:
- Mora de Toledo processes up to 15,000 metric tons of olives per crop year;
- La Roda de Andalucía processes up to 90,000 metric tons;
- Puente del Obispo handles approximately 220,000 metric tons of olive pomace per year;
- the refining capacity in Vilches is up to 600 metric tons per day.
These figures cannot be added together. They refer to different raw materials and different stages of production.
For buyers, Acesur may be relevant as a group capable of supporting several types of operations. However, discussions should begin with a clearly defined product.
Buyers should establish in advance:
- the required oil category;
- whether bulk delivery or finished packaging is needed;
- the facility where the product will be manufactured;
- the location where bottling will take place;
- the origin that will be declared for the lot.
Acesur may be a suitable candidate for a large industrial project, but only when the order is tied precisely to a specific plant and operation.
Almazaras de la Subbética
Cooperative origin and regional identity
Almazaras de la Subbética represents a different business model.
It is a first-tier cooperative representing approximately 7,800 families. This figure does not indicate annual output or the size of an available lot, but it provides a clear view of how the organization is structured.
For buyers, value may come not only from price but also from the product's origin story. The cooperative model can connect the oil to a defined territory, local producers, and a traceability system.
This type of supplier may be particularly relevant to:
- specialty importers;
- gourmet food retailers;
- premium retail chains;
- brands for which oil origin is important;
- distributors specializing in regional products.
However, publicly available materials do not confirm every possible supply format. Buyers should not assume in advance that the cooperative offers bulk lots, finished packaging, or production under a client's private label.
These points should be addressed separately:
- which oil categories are available;
- what volume is available from the current crop year;
- whether bulk supply is possible;
- which bottle formats are offered;
- whether bottling for a third-party brand is available.
Borges Agricultural & Industrial Edible Oils
One of the most transparent profiles for industrial sourcing
Borges Agricultural & Industrial Edible Oils, or BAIEO, publishes comparatively detailed information about its supply formats.
The company reports three production facilities, two of which are located in Spain. It also explicitly confirms that it bottles oil for third-party brands.
Large-volume formats include:
- flexitanks;
- tank containers;
- road tankers;
- smaller industrial packaging formats.
This makes BAIEO a logical candidate for two types of orders:
- bulk oil supply for subsequent bottling or processing;
- production of a finished product under the buyer's private label.
Even with this relatively clear profile, buyers should not assume that every oil category is produced at every facility or available in every packaging format.
Before requesting a quotation, the buyer should specify:
- the exact oil category;
- the preferred origin;
- the required volume;
- the destination market;
- the packaging material and size;
- labeling requirements;
- the proposed delivery schedule.
The response should provide information about the specific Spanish facility that will fulfill the order, rather than a general presentation of the group.
Castillo de Canena
Proprietary production cycle and premium positioning
Castillo de Canena differs significantly from the major industrial groups.
The company emphasizes control over its production cycle. It describes its own olive mill in Puente del Obispo, storage under nitrogen, and contract bottling.
Storage under an inert gas helps limit the oil's exposure to oxygen and preserve its characteristics. For buyers of premium products, this may be more important than maximum tonnage.
Castillo de Canena is worth considering when the sourcing requirement involves:
- a premium product line;
- a specialized assortment;
- a product with a clearly defined origin;
- limited production runs;
- greater attention to quality and packaging.
The phrase "contract bottling" still requires clarification. It does not always mean full private-label production.
Buyers should determine:
- whether the oil belongs to the company or is supplied by the client;
- who purchases the bottles and cartons;
- who is responsible for the label;
- whether the company can adapt the labeling;
- the minimum order quantity;
- the available packaging formats.
For this type of supplier, the quality of negotiations and the precision of the technical brief are especially important.
Dcoop
Cooperative scale and bulk supply
Dcoop is one of Spain's most prominent cooperative groups.
The company consolidates the production and sale of oil from its member cooperatives. It explicitly confirms two supply formats:
- bulk virgin olive oil;
- olive oil in finished packaging.
Average production is approximately 200,000 metric tons, although output varies significantly from one crop year to another.
The group's bottling infrastructure includes the Mercaóleo facility in Antequera. Dcoop owns 50% of this asset.
For an importer or large distributor, Dcoop may be relevant because it combines three factors:
- significant scale;
- cooperative origin;
- the ability to supply both bulk and packaged products.
However, average production does not mean that a lot of the required quality is available at any given time.
A commercial inquiry should specify:
- the oil category;
- the crop year;
- the origin;
- the available volume;
- the storage location;
- the shipping facility;
- the packaging type;
- whether the lot can be reserved.
Deoleo
International brands rather than a conventional supplier model
Deoleo occupies a distinct position in this overview.
It is neither a typical cooperative nor a conventional bulk-oil producer. The group's business is built primarily around established consumer brands.
In 2025, Deoleo upgraded its Alcolea facility in Spain and its Tavarnelle facility in Italy. The group's consolidated revenue was approximately €821 million. Olive oil accounted for around 88% of that figure.
The group reported 27 brands represented in more than 40 countries.
These figures demonstrate international reach, but they do not disclose the volume produced specifically in Spain. They also do not confirm the availability of bulk supply or private-label production.
Deoleo is primarily relevant to distributors seeking to work with existing brands.
In that case, negotiations should focus on specific questions:
- which brand is available in the target market;
- which SKUs can be supplied;
- whether territorial restrictions apply;
- which entity acts as the seller;
- where the product is manufactured or bottled;
- which sales channels are authorized.
Deoleo should be considered a branded-products partner rather than a general-purpose industrial supplier.
Jaencoop
A network of olive mills and large-scale storage
Jaencoop brings together 26 olive mills and more than 26,000 members.
The group's strength lies not only in the number of cooperative members but also in its infrastructure. The Jaencoop Innova complex includes a tank farm with a capacity of approximately 10,000 metric tons.
This storage capacity allows the group to consolidate lots, manage inventory, and organize centralized shipments.
However, tank capacity is not the same as annual production and does not indicate how much oil is available for immediate purchase.
The new bottling line requires separate attention. Public materials associated it with the project's second phase, which was scheduled for 2026 and 2027. Buyers should therefore verify whether the line has entered operation and which processes it currently supports before beginning negotiations.
Jaencoop may be relevant to buyers seeking:
- access to a large network of olive mills;
- cooperative origin;
- centralized storage;
- lots originating in Jaén;
- a long-term relationship with an association of producers.
Some information about the Jaencoop Innova project has been published by trade and regional media, so its current status should be confirmed directly with the company.
Migasa
A broad product range across several price segments
Migasa stands out not for a publicly disclosed tonnage figure but for the breadth of its product range.
The company confirms that it works with:
- extra virgin olive oil;
- virgin olive oil;
- refined olive oil;
- blends of refined and unrefined olive oils;
- olive-pomace oil.
This makes Migasa relevant to companies developing several product lines at the same time.
For example, one buyer may be sourcing:
- premium extra virgin olive oil;
- a more affordable product for mass retail;
- oil for food manufacturing;
- a separate olive-pomace oil line.
Working with one group may simplify negotiations, but it does not eliminate the need to separate inquiries by product category.
For each product, the buyer should confirm separately:
- origin;
- composition;
- production facility;
- volume;
- supply format;
- packaging;
- minimum order quantity.
Buyers should not assume that every category is produced at the same plant or available in the same format.
Oleoestepa
A regional network of producers
Oleoestepa brings together 19 olive mills, more than 7,500 producers, and farming operations covering a total area of approximately 60,000 hectares.
These figures demonstrate the depth of the regional production base. However, the area refers to the combined holdings of the members, not necessarily land owned by a single company.
For buyers, Oleoestepa may be relevant as a single commercial partner representing a network of producers and mills.
This model is particularly useful when the sourcing requirement emphasizes:
- regional origin;
- a direct connection to the agricultural production base;
- the ability to build lots through a producer association;
- traceability;
- a long-term relationship with a cooperative system.
Commercial terms still require separate confirmation. Publicly available information does not automatically confirm every form of bulk supply, finished packaging, or private-label production.
Before requesting an offer, the buyer should define:
- the oil category;
- the origin of the specific lot;
- the volume available from the current crop year;
- the packaging format;
- the shipping location;
- bottling capabilities.
Sovena España
Broad private-label capabilities
Sovena provides some of the most detailed information about its work with private-label products.
The company confirms that it produces olive oil for retail chains and third-party brands. It also offers a broad selection of industrial and consumer packaging.
Large-volume formats include:
- flexitanks;
- drums;
- intermediate bulk containers;
- other industrial containers.
Consumer packaging options include:
- glass bottles;
- PET bottles;
- HDPE containers;
- metal packaging;
- single-serve sachets.
In 2025, Sovena España was associated with the Brenes, Plasencia, and Lagar Monteolivo facilities. Sovena Oilseeds España was associated with the Andújar facility.
These plants should not be treated as fully interchangeable. Not every facility necessarily performs the same operations.
When placing an order, the buyer should establish:
- where the oil is stored;
- where the lot is assembled;
- where blending takes place;
- where bottling is performed;
- which facility is named in the documentation;
- which certifications apply specifically to that facility.
Sovena appears particularly relevant to retail chains, distributors, and brands that require not only the product itself but also a complete production system.
What buyers should know about packaging
Packaging format is often just as important as the oil itself.
Flexitanks, tank containers, and road tankers are used for bulk shipments. Drums and IBCs are used for medium-sized lots.
When selecting one of these formats, buyers should verify:
- whether the container is approved for food products;
- the history of previous cargoes;
- cleaning quality;
- the condition of the interior surface;
- leak-tightness;
- sealing procedures;
- transportation conditions;
- sampling procedures.
Consumer packaging for the EU market is generally limited to containers of up to five liters. The packaging must include a tamper-evident closure.
Different rules may apply to restaurants, hotels, and foodservice businesses in individual countries.
For private-label production, the parties should determine in advance who is responsible for:
- the oil;
- the bottle;
- the closure;
- the label;
- the carton;
- the design;
- text translation;
- labeling compliance;
- laboratory documentation;
- preparing the lot for export.
The statement "we work with private labels" may refer to very different service packages. The more detailed the technical brief, the lower the risk of misunderstanding.
How to verify lot quality
Acidity often becomes the principal indicator in commercial negotiations, but acidity alone is not sufficient.
Extra virgin and virgin olive oils must meet a complete set of physicochemical parameters. These categories also require an organoleptic assessment, which evaluates flavor, aroma, and the absence of disqualifying defects.
Buyers should request:
- the product specification;
- the lot number;
- the laboratory test report;
- the analysis date;
- the testing methods;
- information about the laboratory;
- organoleptic assessment results, when required for the category;
- storage conditions;
- shelf life.
A food safety system certificate confirms how the facility operates, but it does not replace testing of the specific lot.
Oil origin
A Spanish company, a Spanish brand, and a Spanish bottling facility do not always mean that all olives were grown in Spain.
This is particularly important for extra virgin and virgin olive oils, where origin plays a significant role in positioning and labeling.
Buyers should confirm:
- where the olives were grown;
- where they were processed;
- whether raw materials from one or several countries were used;
- where the oil was stored;
- where it was bottled;
- how the origin will be stated on the label.
When origin forms part of the product's market positioning, it should be documented in the specification and contract rather than left as a marketing statement.
Seasonality and olive oil availability
Most Spanish production during the 2025/26 crop year took place between November and February.
This does not mean that every company follows the same operating schedule. However, seasonality has a significant effect on negotiations.
More new oil enters the market immediately after the main processing period. Later in the year, inventory composition, storage conditions, and the volume already committed under contract become more important.
The following factors may vary from month to month:
- availability of specific categories;
- the age of the oil;
- availability of homogeneous lots;
- the supplier's willingness to commit volume;
- bottling lead times;
- packaging costs;
- shipment lead times.
When discussing a transaction, buyers should ask not only about the crop year but also about the production date, storage location, and proposed bottling date.
Market prices and the actual cost of a contract
During the week of July 13 through July 19, 2026, average ex-mill prices in Spain were approximately:
- €3.62 per kilogram for extra virgin olive oil;
- €3.16 per kilogram for virgin olive oil;
- €2.93 per kilogram for lampante olive oil;
- €3.25 per kilogram for refined olive oil.
These are market reference prices, not ready-to-accept offers from producers.
The final price may include:
- the cost of the oil itself;
- laboratory testing;
- the bottle and closure;
- the label;
- the carton;
- bottling;
- palletization;
- storage;
- transportation;
- insurance;
- export documentation;
- deferred payment terms.
When comparing offers, buyers should convert them to the same unit of measurement. A price per liter and a price per kilogram cannot be compared directly without accounting for product density.
Delivery terms must also be stated precisely. For example, writing only FCA or CIF is not sufficient. The contract must name the specific place or port.
Trade within the EU and shipments to other countries
When oil is shipped from Spain to another European Union country, conventional import customs clearance is generally not required.
However, this does not mean that all formalities disappear. The parties should verify:
- the tax status of both parties;
- VAT identification numbers;
- evidence of the movement of goods;
- labeling requirements;
- accounting and reporting rules.
The procedure is different for exports outside the EU.
The following will be required:
- the exact commodity code;
- exporter's documentation;
- buyer's import documentation;
- verification of applicable customs duties;
- import tax;
- food regulatory requirements;
- labeling rules;
- origin documentation;
- laboratory evidence, when required in the destination market.
CN 1509 and CN 1510 are suitable for general market analysis, but a full commodity code is required to calculate customs duties.
What to request from a supplier
A well-structured inquiry helps buyers quickly distinguish suitable suppliers from companies operating under a different model.
It should include the following questions.
- What exact category of oil is being offered?
- Which crop year does the lot belong to?
- Where were the olives grown?
- Where was the oil produced, processed, and bottled?
- What volume is currently available?
- How long can the supplier reserve this volume?
- Is a lot-specific test report available?
- Which parameters are included in the specification?
- Is an organoleptic assessment provided for extra virgin and virgin olive oils?
- How is origin documented?
- How is lot traceability maintained?
- Is bulk supply available?
- Which types of containers are used?
- Which consumer packaging formats are available?
- Is private-label production available?
- What exactly is included in that service?
- Who is responsible for the label and labeling compliance?
- What is the minimum order quantity?
- Where will bottling take place?
- Which documents accompany the lot?
- Which delivery terms are available?
- Who is responsible for export and import customs procedures?
How to select a supplier for a specific requirement
BAIEO and Sovena appear to be the clearest candidates for bulk supply and private-label bottling.
Dcoop is relevant because it combines large-scale cooperative production with confirmed supply of virgin olive oil in both bulk and finished packaging.
Almazaras de la Subbética and Oleoestepa may be particularly relevant to projects where regional origin, the cooperative model, and the product's provenance are important.
Castillo de Canena is worth considering for specialized and premium product lines.
Migasa stands out for its broad range of categories and may suit companies sourcing several types of olive oil.
Acesur is relevant for its industrial scale and network of facilities with different specializations.
Deoleo is best suited to the distribution of established brands.
Jaencoop may be relevant as a single partner for working with a network of olive mills and cooperative infrastructure in Jaén.
Conclusion
Spain's olive oil market is vast, but it does not operate as a single warehouse filled with an identical product.
Every company has a different role. Some produce and store oil. Others refine it. Some represent hundreds or thousands of farmers. Others manage brands. Some specialize in bottling for retail chains.
The best supplier is therefore not determined by brand recognition or a single large figure.
The process begins with a precise description of the sourcing requirement:
- which category of oil is required;
- where it must originate;
- what volume is needed;
- in which format it must be supplied;
- who is responsible for packaging;
- which market the product is being prepared for;
- which documents must accompany the lot.
Only then is it possible to compare Acesur, Dcoop, Sovena, BAIEO, Migasa, Oleoestepa, and other market participants accurately.
For one buyer, cooperative origin may be the decisive factor. For another, it may be a large bulk lot. A third may need a finished private-label product. A fourth may be looking for an established international brand.
Spain can support all of these models. The buyer's main task is not to search in general terms for a "large producer," but to identify a supplier whose production system genuinely matches the requirements of the specific transaction.
Finding suppliers on AllFoods Market
