Currently, with more than 200 direct employees and with the aim of continuing to grow to generate more opportunities for all those people from the environments in which we operate.

Health

The moderate consumption of table olives is recommended for people of any age, since olives are a nutritious and healthy product. For this reason, many of our main CSR efforts and actions are also focused on continuing to maintain and promote healthy lifestyle habits. Among the nutritional characteristics of the olive we highlight:

  • Lípidos: Contenido en grasa saludable.
  • Carbohydrates: Low content.
  • Proteins: Low content that contains all the essential amino acids.
  • Fiber: Source of dietary fiber (adequate for proper digestive function and prevention of colon cancer).
  • Vitamins: Rich in vitamin A and E (important compounds in the antioxidant protection mechanisms of the human organism).
  • Minerals: Sodium (recommended for people who do physical exercise), Calcium (content similar to that of milk), Iron and Magnesium (prevents the formation of kidney stones and favors the action of glands, enzymes and white blood cells).
  • Polyphenols: Outstanding source of polyphenols.

Table olives contain the benefits of olive oil, which comes from the olive.

Experts have determined that an adequate amount would be to take 25 grams. of olives a day (about 7 olives a day), which would replace half a serving of fat (one serving of fat = 1 tablespoon of olive oil).
