Last June, Spanish Film Director Iciar Bollain released the movie The Olive Tree (El Olivo). Critics have celebrated the film for its excellent actors works and the emotional script. Fot this reason Ralda+Friends truly encourages all our friends to go watch the movie to the cinema. However we want to raise a relevant topic that Ms. Bollain used to build her analogy on the recent financial and economic crisis and the story of this Olive Tree. It is the selling of thousands of olive trees from our fields, some of which are millenaries, to wealthy people and corporations from Northern Europe. There...

Our main concern is to allow you to discover the specific flavours of our olive oils. These come from native varieties such as ‘morruda’, ‘farga’ and ‘sevillenca’ which are typical of the area and which are unique throughout the Iberian Peninsula and other more common such as the ‘picual’ or ‘arbequina’ which have been imported successfully with us. Our plains and hills are perfectly adapted to the production of high quality of olive oil for hundreds years, that´s why there are so many millennia and centuries-old olive trees still today in production in our region. However these same varieties on...

May is the month of Mother Days in Europe: 1rst May In Spain, 8th in Switzerland and 29th in France. In Ralda+Friends we have launched a special campaign to celebrate such an event.

It is a symbol of wisdom, health and good food just the kind of things our mommies wanted for us! So, from today until May 29, giving an olive tree in adoption to...

We are very happy to see that everyday new benefits for our health due to the olive oil are discovered. It means that our olive oil we are offering to our friends is not only delicious, but also beneficial for our health if you do not abuse about fish and chips. Experts believe that everyone should include extra virgin olive oil as part of a healthy diet And if I comes from a Ralda+Friends olive tree,even better! 😉 A recent study by the Madrid Institute for Advanced Studies (IMDEA) highlighted a new and unexpected benefit to the virgin extra olive oil: the possible...

Between 16 November 2015 and 3 February, with the support of our friend Victor, we have collected from our plantations of La Plana, La Serra and La Barranquera 18.666 kg of olives, which led to a net production of 3.771 kg of olive oil. These results allow us to propose again our three olive oils varieties: the classical Extra Virgin Oilve Oil, the special Extra Virgin Ralda+Friends D.O.P. (olive oil made exclusively with the three olive varieties that are native to the Baix Ebre-Montsia region: Farga, Morruda and Sevillenca) and our unique Single Variety Morruda Ralda+Friends DOP. Our production has been lower...
