Sustainability and certifications
Our commitment to the land
is part of our DNA
As farmers and harvesters, we feel the need to take care of our trees and the ecosystem in which they grow. Committed to our countryside, we practice regenerative agriculture to take care of the health of our soils and thus guarantee their future.
At Castillo de Canena we take care of the natural cycle of the tree, combining traditional wisdom with the most advanced technology and scrupulous respect for the environment. All the olive trees are adapted to favor mechanized harvesting, have installed the drip ferti-irrigation system and are certified as “Integrated Production” (A.P.I.), which guarantees respectful practices towards the natural environment and a rational cultivation system.
But our commitment goes beyond a declaration of intentions, that is why our practices are endorsed by the most prestigious national and international certifications, which we maintain undergoing continuous external audits.
