The world's leading brand of Spanish olive oil
Carbonell elaborates and commercialises olive oil, olives, vinegars, mustards and sauces.

Its history and wide international dispersal make it a wellknown, traditional, familiar and homely brand, consumer accessible; a brand that “we have always used at home”.

Carbonell has always been a pioneering brand in the sector and this has shaped the essence of its image. It was the first to sell olive oil in glass bottles, and then the first to use a plastic container.

Its main product line is olive oil: a natural juice that preserves all the flavour, aroma, vitamins and properties of the fruit that it comes from, the olive.

Carbonell carefully selects the best raw materials from the olive groves. Its factories have been issued with the ISO 9002 certificate and are equipped with the Hazard Analysis and Critical Point Control system (HACCP).

Carbonell first broke onto the international scene in 1868 and is today the leading brand of Spanish olive oil.

Since exportation began in 1868, overseas development has followed a constant upward trend. Today Carbonell is present in over 70 countries, spreads over five continents, where it has been selected as the best quality Spanish olive oil.
