The Regulatory Council

Who are we?

At the beginning of 2019 the IGP (PGI) Consejo Regulador was build and the name is IGP Manzanilla and Gordal of Sevilla.

Its function is to work to achieve greater added value and greater recognition of the agricultural production of the olive grove of Seville including the efforts of the table olive sector.

The CR continues the work of Association for the Promotion of the Seville Olive (APAS) since the decisión of the Ministry of Agriculture (Consejería de Agricultura), Fisheries and Rural Development (Pesca y Desarrollo) was published in BOE through the National Transitional Protection for olives (Nacional Transitoria a las IGP Aceituna) of the IGP Aceituna Manzanilla y Gordal de Sevilla.

From no won, the Sevillian olive grove, producers, industry and the rest of the sector, count on more options for the future.

Consumers also have the gurantee that all olives that are marked have been produced in Sevilla and esepcially under certain quality coniditons, especially hand-picked and prepared in the Seville-style.

For a better future for the olive grove of Seville

Visión

In the Regulatory Council of the PGI Manzanilla and Gordal of Seville we are convinced that the rural environment is a prosperous and sustainable place for people and companies. We believe that the Sevillian olive grove has a central role for its ability to generate employment and wealth and, above all, for being part of our history and being our hallmark.

Mission

The mission of the Regulatory Council is to contribute to generating greater added value to the agricultural production of the Sevillian olive grove through a double strategy: the differentiation of our olives, the Manzanilla and Gordal olives of Seville, and to favor their better connection with the markets and consumers. To do this, we manage the certification of PGI Aceituna Manzanilla and Gordal de Sevilla in a way that brings value to society in three areas: social, economic and environmental. We work so that the value of the rural environment is recognized, we favor the capture of greater added value for producers and industries, and we promote the conservation of biodiversity and the environment.

Values

  1. The social and environmental sustainability of our project. The IGP Aceitung Manzanilla y Gordal de Sevilla are commited to be responsible for the current resources without prejudicing the future generations.
  2. The persons. Behind our project: farmers (male/female) who, individually or together, work every day. They make a decent living by growing the traditional varieties of Aceituna Manzanilla y Gordal de Sevilla. We believe in incorporating the knowledge, ideas and experiences of women and young people into our strategy of differentation. These are groups that have traditionally not been considered and we see how important their contribution is in responding to the rest of the CR and the Sevillian rural environment.
  3. Cooperative work to tackle new challenges of the rural environment thorugh an integral and multidisciplinary vision.
  4. The tradition of the processes that are connected with the varieties of the Manzanilla y Gordal de Sevilla. Hand-picked and Sevillian-style cooking are the result of a shared culture and some kind of way of understand our relationship with our surroundings.
  5. The quality of these two varieties, the gordal-and manzanilla aceituna de sevilla, for their status as a traditional agricultural biodiversity, for their organoleptic qualities and for contributing the food sovereignty of our system.
  6. We work with communication in a transversal and transparent way, making all our processes visible and creating a dialogue with our audiences, so that they are and feel being part of the IGP.
