Our values
Proud of a tradition that dates back to 1780, we maintain our love for our countryside and its fruits.
More than two centuries of history and learning as olive growers and olive oil producers in which, together with a firm commitment to sustainability, innovation, quality and excellence, we have managed to become world leaders in the premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil sector.
Our parents, Luis Vañó and Rosa María Cañadas, passed on their passion for the countryside and the olive grove to the three siblings Francisco, Rosa and Cristina. In 2003 Rosa and Francisco, who were at the time senior managers of multinational companies such as Coca-Cola and Banco Santander, decided to change our professional direction and embark fully on the project of transforming the family business of olive grove production and olive oil production, marketed as bulk oil, into a new Castillo de Canena: a modern company, focused on the creation of a high-end EVOO brand with a high spirit of innovation.
At Castillo de Canena we are driven by our passion for our land and our olive trees, from which the high-end Extra Virgin Olive Oil that we are so proud of is born.
Our gourmet EVOOs are the result of tradition, know-how and experience passed down from generation to generation, of our commitment to sustainability, both social, improving the society around us, and of our countryside, an example of biodiversity, continuously reducing our carbon footprint and our water footprint, excluding any type of pesticide and herbicide, favoring the vegetation cover of our soil as part of our commitment to regenerative agriculture, continuous innovation in our production processes and in our products adapted to the needs of our consumers, and finally, adopting excellence as a habit in all our activities.
