For over 50 years, JOLCA has combined tradition with innovation to become one of the most renowned table olive brands in the Spanish market.

The company is located in Aljarafe, Seville a region that since ancient times is famous for the quality of its olives. Pliny, in Roman times, praised the sunny hills of this area as the best for growing olives. Later, in the Middle Ages, the famous geographer Al-Idrisi said that “the best known region for olive cultivation in Al-Andalus is the area southwest of Seville called Aljarafe”. This tradition has continued through today and both the olive tree and olive are intimately connected not only to the local culture, but are also the mainstay of its economy.

JOLCA was created in 1961 by the entrepreneurial Gutierrez family who have maintained the balance between a respect for tradition (by hand-harvesting the olives), and constant innovation. The combination of the two gives rise to a wide range of quality table olives deserving of the acclaim received in the markets where they are sold. For our customers, quality is the hallmark of our brand.

Today, JOLCA is a leading brand in the Spanish market and our products can be found worldwide. JOLCA is synonymous with the best quality Spanish olive. As an appetizer or in cooking, table olives are highly nutritious and they are part of the Mediterranean diet.

It has always been the priority of our company - which has the industrial facilities to treat such distinguished and unique fruit with care - to be close to the raw materials it works with. 

We mostly process two varieties of local olives that are recognized worldwide: the Manzanilla and the Gordal from Seville.

The combination of selecting raw materials that are suitable for the most discerning palates, a team of professional experts, modern and efficient facilities, and strict monitoring of all stages of production from the time the olives are picked, is the source of greatness that distinguishes JOLCA.

By combining the ability of a team of professional experts, modern and efficient production facilities, scrupulous monitoring of the complete production process: from tree to package and of course the selection of olives to satisfy the most discerning palates is what provides JOLCA its greatness.

We are always looking for ways to improve and to meet customer demand. We are increasingly allocating more resources to new technologies that provide greater safety in the manufacturing process. Moreover, the distinct formats (small, medium, large), types of containers used (cans, glass, flexible bags) and variety of presentations (pitted, whole, stuffed with different ingredients, seasoned with spices, etc.) enable us to meet the demands of different consumer groups.
