Francisco Torrent Béjar, in addition to taking over the baton from his father, Máximo, led a process of modernisation of the company, anticipating the industrial revolution that would transform the olive sector in the years to come. During this period, the factory was moved to the Las Quemadas industrial estate, where new systems were implemented and the production process took a key turn with the incorporation of fermenters.

Aceitunas Torrent’s exporting career began when Don Francisco Torrent Terol decided to undertake his first trip abroad, more specifically to South America, at the same time as awakening a great passion that has endured in subsequent generations: to take the Cordovan olive all over the world.

The Aceitunas Torrent factory moved to Alonso el Sabio street, a residence it would maintain for almost 60 years and whose nostalgic image still brings a smile to the faces of our grandparents.
1898
The history of Aceitunas Torrent in Cordoba dates back to 1898, when Francisco Torrent Terol left his native Alicante to settle next to the Malmuerta tower, where he continued to manufacture barrels for the storage of olive oil and table olives. The dressing, packaging and marketing of the latter would become the company’s main activity years later.
