Livia Romanceac

Livia was born in rural Romania, part of a family of 10 siblings. From a young age she learned a range of skills for working and living off the land; cultivating the soil, farming, processing and preserving crops, and baking bread. She still works organically – because that’s how she’s always done it, and because the best kind of nutritious and healthy product is one grown in balance with the environment.

Now she leads a family-run project including her sister and another partner, forming a 100% female team. They harvest two varieties of olive, including Aloreña olives which are classified as ‘Protected Designation of Origin’, and sell to markets, cooperatives, shops and individuals in Spain – and in Europe through Tierra y Libertad.

Once they are ready to harvest, Livia’s olives are prepared using artisanal methods; first sweetened and preserved in brine containers, they are seasoned and packaged on demand. This means the product is always fresh, high in probiotics, full of flavour and unpasteurised; the healthiest way to get olives from the tree to your table!
