The Gil Luna Legacy

In the sun-drenched hills of Andalusia, where ancient olive trees have stood sentinel for centuries, the Luna family has cultivated a tradition of excellence that defines the very essence of premium olive oil.

A Heritage of Passion

Gil Luna's journey with olive oil began in his family's groves, where he learned the art of reading the trees — understanding when each olive reaches its perfect moment of ripeness. This intimate knowledge, passed down through generations, is what sets Macolive apart from industrial producers.

The name "Macolive" embodies our philosophy: the marriage of traditional mastery (Ma-) with the olive's natural perfection. Every bottle carries the dedication of a family that has devoted their lives to creating the world's most exquisite olive oils.

The Process

Our olives are hand-harvested at the precise moment of optimal ripeness — typically between October and December, when the fruit transitions from green to its characteristic purple hue. Within just four hours of picking, the olives are cold-pressed at temperatures below 27°C, ensuring that every drop retains its full spectrum of flavors, aromas, and beneficial polyphenols.

The result is an extra virgin olive oil of extraordinary quality, with acidity levels consistently below 0.2% — far surpassing the 0.8% maximum required for extra virgin classification. This is not just olive oil; it is liquid gold, carefully crafted to elevate every dish it touches.

From Spain to the World

While Spain has long appreciated the finest olive oils, we believe the world deserves to experience the true taste of Andalusia. Macolive was created to bring Gil Luna's exceptional oils to connoisseurs across the globe — from Europe and the United Kingdom to North America, Asia, and beyond.

Every shipment is carefully packaged to protect the oil's delicate character during transit, ensuring that when you open a bottle of Macolive, you experience the same fresh, vibrant flavors as if you were standing among the olive groves of Jaén.
