At the turn of the 20th century, the Luque family already owned a mill in Castro del Río, where they ground the olives grown in the area. The Alcubilla 2000 oil mill is still operational today, in Castro del Río in the DO Baena.
In 1990, Luque embraced organic olive farming and since 1999 the Alcubilla 2000 facility has been milling exclusively organically-grown olive oil. It is also CAAE-certified. It has also held KOSHER olive oil certification since September 2004.
The production of organic extra virgin olive oil means that every last detail must be taken care of, from field to mill. The cold-grinding of the olives yields an artisan unfiltered olive oil, ensuring that all of its properties remain intact. Moreover, due to organic growing methods, the Luque olive oil is free from insecticides, pesticides and synthetic fertilisers.
