OleoAlmanzora is an olive oil estate and experience provider based in Pulpí, Andalucía. The company combines oleotourism with regional heritage, offering guided visits to its production facilities, sensory masterclasses, and curated tasting menus that showcase local ingredients paired with extra virgin olive oil (AOVE). Guests can book estate tours with olive oil tastings, breakfast or snack pairings, and professional cata sensorial masterclasses that train the palate under expert guidance.
Beyond olive oil, OleoAlmanzora connects visitors with Pulpí’s geological and cultural highlights. Experiences include visits to the Sala Negra at the Espacio Escénico—home to two permanent exhibitions and Europe’s largest collection of luminescent minerals—guided exploration of Mina Rica and the world’s largest crystal geode, and excursions to the coastal Castillo San Juan de los Terreros with panoramic views. Options range from independent itineraries to combined packages featuring oleotourism, the Geoda Gigante, the Sala Negra, and tasting menus.
Culinary offerings include two tasting menus—“The Olive Experience” and the OleoAlmanzora tasting menu—built around Arbequina oils, pearls, and local produce. All visits emphasize traceability and sensory education: facility tours explain olive cultivation and milling, while tastings and masterclasses develop tasting technique and description.

With structured tours, permanent exhibits, and professional-led tastings, it provides a factual, educational, and sensory-rich way to explore Andalusian olive oil culture and the region’s unique geological attractions.
