Our history
Origin of the brand
Lucentina was born in Lucena, nurtured by its history, its land, and its people. Protected by the DOP Aceite de Lucena and crafted from the Hojiblanca variety—also known locally as Lucentina—our brand stands for the excellence of an Extra Virgin Olive Oil with a unique identity and deep-rooted heritage.
Yet Lucentina is more than just a product—it is a tribute. A heartfelt recognition of the countless women who have been the invisible backbone of the countryside. Above all, the rural woman: steadfast and determined, shaping the landscape and sustaining olive groves with silent strength—leaving her mark on every tree, every harvest, and every generation.
Lucentina is born from their legacy. Every drop carries the force of their effort, the dignity of their labor, and the pride of a story that must be told. This brand is their voice, their banner, and our way of honoring them—with the deepest respect and admiration.
A team effort
The cooperative is made up of more than 1,550 members, 12,000 hectares, 1,200,000 olive trees and 40,000 tonnes of olives.
Lucentina oil is the essence of the effort and passion of a great team.
Evolution and Growth
2021
Lucentina begins its trajectory as its own brand, with the aim of offering a high quality premium EVOO and reinforcing the cooperative’s identity in the market.
In the same year, the cooperative joins forces with Almazaras de la Subbética to strengthen the marketing of its oil and diversify its production with conventional, arbequina and organic oils.
A new cellar was also built in the old facilities of the Cooperativa Vitivinícola de Lucena SCA, increasing the cooperative’s storage capacity by 3,300,000 litres of oil, reaching a total cellar capacity of almost 7,000,000 kg.
