The Regulatory Council
Who are we?
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
