Almazaras de la Subbética is more than a family company, it is a company of 4000 families who live by and for the olive grove. It was founded as such on 9 July 2007 and is the result of the merger of two companies: S.C.A. Virgen del Castillo (Carcabuey) and S.C.A. Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno (Priego de Córdoba), whose origins date back to the mid-1950s and 1960s, respectively. It currently has two work centres. The first of these is located in the municipality of Carcabuey, with more than 350,000 square metres, where we find the head office, as well as the largest of the oil mills, the livestock section, the quince section, the dressing section and the packing plant. In the other centre, which covers 28,000 square metres and is located in Priego de Córdoba, is the second of the olive oil mills.
