Our Family

When he was only 12, my father José planted some 200 olive trees in his small piece of family land. It was a reduced crew: his father and his elder brother, 14 years old. It took them several months to complete the task, using the spare moments of countryside labor. Those were times of scarcity: my father always talks about “sad mood and scarce food”.
Today, when I wander around the olive groves and watch these majestic trees, already mature and abundant with fruits, I can’t help thinking of that little boy in his knees burying the slip into the earth: what would he be thinking in that precise moment?
José turned 80 in 2018. He taught me the values of land, respect for Nature, and commitment to family, same as I will do with my daughter, adding thus a new link to a chain that is repeated the same way for so many centuries.

Every year, when harvest comes and the cascade of fresh olives roll into the mill, I see the juicy oil shine like gold and it reflects the story of my heritage.

It is the values of respect for Mother Earth, heritage, nature, and family that we are so proud of representing SANCHO, Extra Virgin Olive Oil from the Heart of the Iberian Peninsula.

We receive the results of efforts, care, and experience: we harvest the best fruit of the Land of La Mancha, in the heart of Spain. Our precious Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
