Pons, producer of the best extra virgin olive oil since 1945
At Pons, we have been producing the best extra virgin olive oil since 1945. For four generations, our family has cultivated its own olive groves in southern Lleida, crafted exceptional extra virgin olive oil, and exported it to more than 100 countries worldwide. We control every stage of the process from the olive tree to the final product. That complete traceability is what sets truly premium extra virgin olive oil apart from oils that simply claim to be premium on the label.
Family-owned estate extra virgin olive oil
Our extra virgin olive oil comes from our own irrigated estate in southern Lleida. It is crafted in our state-of-the-art olive mill using cold extraction to preserve its natural aromas, flavours and nutritional properties.
Owning the land where our olive trees grow allows us to oversee every detail of the process. We harvest the olives at the ideal moment and minimize the time between picking and extraction to ensure exceptional freshness and quality. As a fourth-generation family business, we have been refining our expertise since 1945. This heritage and commitment to excellence are what define our olive oil and have established Pons as a trusted producer of premium extra virgin olive oil.
Why choose PONS?
Exceptional extra virgin olive oil is proven by results, not by marketing claims. Pons is one of Catalonia's most awarded extra virgin olive oil producers, and our oils are backed by scientific research conducted in collaboration with the University of Lleida. These are the eight pillars behind that recognition.
Sustainability and regenerative agriculture
We follow the principles of organic and regenerative farming. Our agricultural practices protect the soil, promote biodiversity and preserve the landscape year after year, helping maintain the long-term balance of the Mediterranean olive ecosystem.
Culinary excellence
We produce specialty olive oils for professional chefs and fine dining. Every sensory nuance enhances meats, seafood, vegetables, rice dishes and recipes finished with extra virgin olive oil.
Early harvest from our own estate
We harvest our olives early, while the fruit is still green, from our own estate. Although this results in a lower yield, it produces an oil with greater intensity, vibrant vegetal notes, and a naturally high concentration of polyphenols and antioxidants.
Innovation and Technology
We combine precision agriculture with advanced extraction technology to preserve the fresh aroma, flavour, fruitiness and natural characteristics of our olive oil while respecting the unique sensory profile of every harvest.
High polyphenol content
Our Janiroc collection contains more than 250 mg/kg of polyphenols. This exceeds the threshold established by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), which recognizes that olive oil polyphenols help protect blood lipids from oxidative stress. Their high concentration also contributes to the oil's stability and distinctive sensory profile.
Fully integrated production
We oversee every stage of production, from the olive grove to the bottle. Cultivation, milling, bottling and international distribution are all managed in-house, ensuring complete traceability and consistently high quality in every harvest.
International prestige
Our oils have received awards at some of the world's most prestigious competitions, including NYIOOC (New York), London, EVOOLEUM and Dubai. These independent recognitions reflect the quality of every harvest and reinforce Pons' reputation as a premium extra virgin olive oil producer with an international presence.
Eight decades of export experience
Since 1945, we have exported our olive oil to more than 100 countries. With our own subsidiary in the United States, Casa Pons USA, we provide a reliable, consistent supply tailored to international markets, backed by more than 80 years of experience.

Frequently asked questions about best extra virgin olive oil
Find answers to some of the most common questions about our extra virgin olive oil.
What makes an extra virgin olive oil premium?
A premium extra virgin olive oil is defined by both its origin and the way it is produced. It comes from carefully selected olives grown on the producer's own estate, harvested early and cold extracted shortly after picking to preserve freshness, flavour and nutritional value. At Pons, we oversee every stage of the process through a fully integrated production model, ensuring exceptional quality and complete traceability in every harvest.
Which is the best extra virgin olive oil from Pons?
If you're looking for our most awarded olive oil with the highest polyphenol content, the Janiroc collection is our flagship range. Produced from an ultra-early harvest, it exceeds the healthy polyphenol threshold recognised by the EFSA. We also offer a selection of award-winning and organic extra virgin olive oils, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your taste and cooking style.
How much does premium extra virgin olive oil cost?
The price of premium extra virgin olive oil depends on the olive variety, bottle size, and whether it is an early harvest or organic oil. You can find the latest prices for every product in our online shop
What is early harvest, and why does it matter?
Early harvest means picking the olives while they are still green. Although this produces a lower yield, it results in an extra virgin olive oil with a higher concentration of polyphenols, more intense aromas, fresh herbaceous notes and greater sensory complexity.
Are you producers or distributors?
We are producers. We grow our own olives, produce our extra virgin olive oil in our own mill, and manage both bottling and international distribution. By overseeing every stage of the process, from grove to bottle, we guarantee complete traceability and consistent quality.
Buying from Pons means buying directly from the producer, with the confidence of receiving extra virgin olive oil crafted entirely by our family.
