In 2003 speaking no Spanish at all Susie headed off to Andalucia with her three children and the intention of building a house, learning the language and immersing themselves in local Spanish life.

It was a huge challenge but well worth it. Having begun to get to grips with the language they bought 30 acres of land with a large cow barn and, incredibly luckily, very quickly got planning permission to build a beautiful home.

With a number of olive trees on her land, she started to pick the crop each year and take them to the local ‘cooperativa del pueblo’ to be pressed along with the olive harvest from Miguel, Paco, Ana and all the other locals (some of whom still bring the ripe fruit from their fincas to the village by mule!). At the cooperativa Rafael and his team press the olives to create a delicious extra virgin olive oil which is shared amongst the locals and now enjoyed by others further afield.   

In 2016, after twelve years of great fun,  she decided to sell the house. Happily their link with Casarabonela carries on through Fino which sells the delicious olive oil produced in the village where they had such happy times.

Whether you’re trying Fino for the first time, or are one of their many loyal customers, Fino will bring a sense of Andalucian adventure to your kitchen table.
