. Welcome to the website of the oil mill of the "Herederos de Teodora Martinez CB", olive growers and manufacturers of extra virgin olive oil that we sell under our brand "Casa Arevalo". We are the oldest oil mill that continues in operation in Baeza, a land of great olive tradition, located in the center of the province of Jaén, in the region of La Loma . At present, it is in the municipality of Baeza where the largest quantity of olives in the province of Jaén and therefore in the world are harvested and ground. In the book Historia de la Ciudad de Baeza by D. Fernando de Cózar from 1884, when locating the disappeared parish of San Marcos, he says “In the year 1467 a hermitage was erected for this saint, in the upper part of Egido, in front of the oil mill steamed that he has built and belongs to Mr. Antonio Arévalo …. ”. Thus, in the second half of the 19th century, the technological improvement involving the use of steam was already introduced in this oil mill, replacing the use of animals. The existence of a previous oil mill is attested by the cellar of jars in which, together with the sign of the master potter, the year 1826 can be read. (See photograph). In 1945 our grandparents Isidro Martinez de Torre and Julia Martínez Dominguez, natives of Trévago (Soria), bought the house and the oil mill from the descendants of D. Antonio Arévalo. They, although from Soria, knew the trade, they were children and grandchildren of olive oil producers, they bought oil in Bajo Aragón (Alcañiz mainly) and since at that time there was no money, it was exchanged for eggs, touring the towns of Tierra de Almazán (in Morón de Almazán they had a store and warehouses), Campo Gómara, Tierra de Agreda, Tierra de San Pedro Manrique, Las Cinco Villas. . . The eggs were sold to confectioneries in Aragón, La Rioja, Navarra (Logroño, Calahorra, Zaragoza, Calatayud, Peralta ...) and started again (see the contract of April 9, 1917 by which grandfather Isidro undertook within two months to deliver five thousand dozen eggs in the Alhondiga de Logroño). Our parents José Gimeno Lázaro and Teodora Martinez Martínez , continued the activity and from them we learned what we know, we were literally born on top of a press, since the mill occupies the lower part of the house. Our parents kept the oil mill and adapted it to new technologies, currently, since the oil mill was within the urban area, we have moved to a new location on the Baeza-Ubeda Highway, km 0'700, where we have the latest innovations for the production of the highest quality extra virgin olive oil . In this way, combining tradition and modern technologies, we can offer you the authentic flavor of our land so that you can enjoy it when and how much you want. We only produce extra virgin olive oil, but WHAT OIL! © 2013 CASA AREVALO Oil Factory | Produced: AL Informatica
