Aceitunas Torrent is a leading company in seasoning, packaging and retail of table olives, as well as being one of the world´s main exporters. It was founded at the end of the 19th century, when Francisco Torrent Terol left his home town Alicante and moved to Cordoba. It was in 1898, when he started to make barrels to keep the oil and table olives in and by doing so he laid the foundations of the company.

In 1920 Aceitunas Torrent became one of the first Spanish companies to export olives, specifically to South American countries like Brazil, underlining the company´s predilection for export from the very beginning.

In over a century since its creation, Aceitunas Torrent has experienced exponential growth in production, innovation, management, brand image and retail; positioning it as market leader, with representation in all five continents. 

Currently the fourth generation of the Torrent family heads the company, which is strategically located in Aguilar de la Frontera (Cordoba), a table olive producing area par excellence, whose important geographic location has turned it into a communications hub for exports.

Aceitunas Torrent is located in a 100,000 m2 industrial complex where the company´s entire production and marketing processes are located. It has state-of-the art technology for pitting, stuffing and slicing table olives. With over 90 production employees, and due to the optimization of its resources, the company has a production capacity of over 20 million kg/year.

Aceitunas Torrent is reknown for its black olives, a point of reference for all of the company´s other products. Yet its product range includes green and black olives: whole, pitted, stuffed or sliced, packaged both in cans and glass jars.

Production focuses primarily on the Cordoba Hojiblanca variety, undisputed leader in terms of number of kilos produced and exported for domestic consumption, although the company also produces other varieties such as Manzanilla and Gordal olives. 

Quality has always been the company key principles. Aceitunas Torrent was the first firm in the Spanish olive sector to obtain the ISO 9001:2008 certification in all processing stages: seasoning, packaging and marketing. Because of its commitment to the environment and food safety it then obtained the ISO 14001:2004 certificate, upper level IFS and A grade BRC A certificates, as well as Eurostars for its fleet of vehicles.

Emphasis on innovation has led Aceitunas Torrent to launch new products such as its line of innovative gourmet stuffings and caramelized olives or its premium extra virgin olive oil.
