OUR SELECTION
The Hualdo Estate is an agricultural and livestock farm, located in El Carpio de Tajo (Toledo).
Our final goal is to recover the vitality of our ecosystem by producing excellent, healthy and sustainable food.
We seek to integrate all the activities of the farm in closed cycles.
In our way, we will be building a brand with a purpose: to improve the lives of consumers and producers, of both society and rural areas.
CASAS DE HUALDO
Our olive groves extend in an area of 700ha, between 400m and 600m above sea level, exposed to a harsh climate with low rainfall. The location of the mill, in the center of the olive groves, allows us to extract the EVOOs in less than 6 hours from the harvest of the olive, thus preserving the best aromas and healthy components of the fruit.
We grow four varieties of olives – Arbequina, Picual, Cornicabra and Manzanilla – with which we make our juices, which we package on demand, to make them reach the consumer in the best possible conditions.
On our website you can learn more about us.
QUESOS DE HUALDO
As a result of the work carried out over the years with our ewes, the project was born to combine craftsmanship and cheese technology for creating cheeses with the most varied range of aromas, flavors and textures.
The commitment is ambitious: to make natural rind cheeses with raw milk freshly milked daily from our herd, as the best expression of the richness of our heritage. If you want to know us better, do not hesitate to visit our website.
LA HUERTA DE HUALDO
Inspired by the rich horticultural history of the region, we launched an organic orchard and fruit tree project in the banks of the Tagus river.
We want to rediscover some of the best products of our agricultural tradition, without neglecting technological advances – the construction of a high-tech greenhouse is already underway.
Our goal is to bring the end customer an excellent, ecological and freshly harvested product, produced and distributed responsibly.
Continuous Cooling of the Olive before Grinding
Two years ago, we launched the OLIVPREM18 project. Our aim is to continue to improve the quality of our early harvest oils, with innovative techniques that allow us a better management of the olives during the first days of the campaign. One of them is the cooling of the olive with a cryogenic tunnel.

Our commitment to environment led us to consider the implementation of an Environmental Management System. We chose the UNE-EN ISO 14001 standard, which has allowed us to structure the environmental aspects related to the different processes developed in Casas de Hualdo, to promote environmental protection and pollution prevention from a point of view of balance with the socio-economic aspects.
