Due to the growing demand for olive oil, which is one of the foundations of a healthy diet, artisanal olive oil production has proved to be an insufficient method to meet the needs of the high demand for this product. As a result, new and improved industries have emerged to increase olive oil production in order to satisfy consumer needs. This is how IPAN came about.
IPAN is a mill for the industrialized production of olive oil, allowing its export to take olive products produced in the Geopark further afield.
The olive oil is grown on land with particular orographic, geological and climatic characteristics. Olive groves are produced on land at elevations below 800m, on acidic or slightly acidic soils, preferably clay soils, which give the soil good drainage and air circulation. The existing clay soils (schists) are the result of rocks that were once formed on the shores of an ancient continent under water, and which are now submerged due to the action of the forces of nature.
