Since mid-2014, Bellota has been collaborating with Apadrinaunolivo.org, an initiative launched by a group of young entrepreneurs from Olite, Teruel (Spain) aimed at recovering abandoned, centuries-old olive groves.

With the help of new technologies, they are trying to help family farming and rural development in very deprived areas at risk of disappearing.

Bellota collaborates by donating tools to perform the work involved in recovering, conserving and caring for all the ancient and barren olive trees.

Bellota takes a further step in its social commitment with this solidarity, ecological and environmental project, which seeks to revive farming tasks and stimulate public interest in the countryside.
