Molino del Genil S.L. was founded in 2008 and its objective is the search for excellence, from the field to the oil mill through the best cultivation practices, careful harvesting, exquisite extraction and delicate conservation.
The factory has the most modern facilities that guarantee the extraction of the best extra virgin olive oil (conventional and organic). The different lines of reception, selection, screening and cleaning, together with cold grinding and different quality controls guarantee the best extracted olive oil. We currently have a milling capacity exceeding 1.5 million kg of olives per day and our own laboratory in the facility that allows us to characterize all the extra virgin oil produced before its storage. The warehouse has been expanded several times to reach a capacity of 18 million kg of oil at this time. These modern facilities allow us to load any format requested in bulk (tanks (25 tons), flexitanks (21 tons) and other containers of different capacities) and bottled.
The company pays special attention to quality improvement and has achieved certifications of ECOLOGICAL PRODUCTION, BCR and IFS covering all industrial and food safety requirements in accordance with the principles established in the Food Codex.
Adding Kosher Check Certification has been a very important step for our export business.

The Ivory Coast or Côte d'Ivoire is located on the West Coast of Africa. The French and Portuguese explorers of the 15th and 16th centuries divided the West Coast of Africa into five Coasts, reflecting the different economies of the regions. The Ivory Coast was aptly name the Côte d'Ivoire by the French and Costa do Marfim by the Portuguese as both mean “Ivory Coast”. This was because the major trade that had developed in the region was the export of Ivory. The Ivory Coast today produces one third of the World’s Cocoa crop and is the World’s largest exporter. It also has the largest economy in Western Africa.
Recently TAFISSA Cocoa of the Ivory Coast gained Kosher Certification through Kosher Check.

Today many leading manufacturers in the Ivory Coast and throughout Africa are looking to gain Kosher Certification to assist them with opening new markets around the World. Today many uncertified companies in Africa and around the world are turning to Kosher Check to assist them in their Kosher Certification needs.
