The certification officers of the Regulatory Council of the Designation of Origin Estepa carry out numerous controls throughout the campaign to ensure that both the practices employed in the olive groves and the quality of the final oil correspond to the requirements of the organisation.
All extra virgin olive oils covered by the Estepa Denomination of Origin are made using sustainable methods, such as Integrated Production or Organic Production.
In the area covered by the Designation of Origin Estepa, the quality of the extra virgin olive oil obtained is important, but it is also fundamental how the product is obtained, since the use of good practices in the olive grove is required, always respecting the environment under an essential motto in this area, the environmental heritage.
