HISTORY
The history of TORREVEQUIA dates back to the 19th century, when in 1895 the family records the ownership of a small olive grove in the countryside of the Alto Guadalquivir in Cordoba, between the municipalities of Montoro and Bujalance.
TORREVEQUIA SL was founded in 2007 as a company specialising in the production, marketing and distribution of olive oils and all types of edible oils, continuing our tradition of olive growing.
Continuing the entrepreneurial spirit and tireless work inherited from our ancestors, our aim is to offer unique and authentic products. We transmit tradition in our products, offering with them a constant presence in a healthy gastronomy.

LABORATORY ANALYSIS
quality
Acidity
Percentage of free fatty acids: easily bound to other compounds, mainly air, resulting in peroxides.
PEROXIDE VALUE
Indicates the oxidation state of the oil. When peroxides decompose, a set of compounds is created: ‘rancid’.
ABSORBENCES
Indicates the state of oxidation of the olive oil after peroxide breakdown, in the laboratory control.
∆K
Refined Oils: Absorbance difference at 3 wavelengths (K270-(K266+K274).
SENSORY ANALYSIS
After the laboratory analysis, sensory analysis is carried out: Analysis of parameters that cannot be measured by laboratory methods. This is carried out by a panel of tasters, preferably odd-numbered.
LABORATORY
At Torrevequia we carry out analyses of olive oil and oils, using sensitive laboratory equipment and methodologies developed for this purpose. In addition to this technological component, we have decades of experience and competence in the sector. The set of procedures and measurements applied to assess the quality of olive oil and oil follow strict controls, where all components are examined. Measurements are constant and as we are present throughout the entire production process, we ensure high standards and quality conditions.
The main and ultimate objective is to provide information for decision-making and quality assurance at all stages of the production process.
The analysis procedures are carried out in our specialised laboratory, but measurements are also taken throughout the production chain. This constant monitoring ensures that good practices are maintained, always with the utmost respect for the traditions of the sector.
