Basilippo means “village of the forest of the moon”, it is believed that this Tartessian city (Bronze Age, tenth to sixth centuries BC) was located between the towns of El Viso del Alcor and Carmona in the province of Seville. The Tartessians had an intense relationship with the Acebuche (wild olive tree) for the multiple benefits of its fruit, the olive.
Several millennia later, the agricultural wisdom of the first Andalusian olive growers is still alive in the elaboration of Basilippo, a mixture of ancestral culture and the most modern production and commercialization systems.
The culture of the olive tree and oil is present in Basilippo from its name and philosophy to the logo that characterizes it, the silhouette of a panathenaic amphora. These vessels, of great artistic value, were used to reward the winners of the Panathenaic Games (precursors of the Olympic Games) that were held in Greece in honor of the Goddess Athena. Amphorae filled with oil from sacred olive trees symbolized the most valuable gift that could be offered.
HACIENDA MERRHA is undoubtedly the heart of Basilippo. Located in the privileged countryside of Los Alcores in the province of Seville, between the towns of Carmona and El Viso del Alcor.
