HISTORY
Agrícola Industrial Forés, S.L. is a family business dedicated to the production and marketing of olive oil with more than half a century of experience and tradition.
The current one is the third generation of an oil company that began its activity in 1940, with one of the first hydraulic press mills in Terres de l’Ebre, the southernmost oil region in Catalonia.
The facilities, always located in the Raval de Sant Llàtzer in Tortosa, have evolved over time. In 1981, a continuous centrifuge was acquired that was a pioneer in Terres de l’Ebre and one of the first in Catalonia.
In 2018, the new facilities of Molí d’Oli Forés located in Vinallop (Tortosa) were inaugurated. These new and modern facilities will serve to respond to the challenges that today’s society requires from the point of view of quality, service and food safety. The new facilities have the most modern technology for the production of olive oil.
Processes evolve but the essence of the activity remains intact. Agrícola Industrial Forés, S.L. it retains the family spirit with which it was founded.

The Forí Oil Mill is the first private oil producer in Catalonia. It has the capacity to produce up to 100,000 kilos of oil daily, and has a warehouse with a capacity of up to 800,000 kilos of oil. Its new facilities occupy 3,000 square meters, and has a staff of up to 10 workers.
These new facilities have the latest technology in the manufacture of olive oil from the points of view of quality and food safety. They are also pioneers in energy saving, the use of renewable energy and respect for the environment.
During the harvesting period, the fruit is processed on the same day it is harvested, in order to preserve its organoleptic characteristics and obtain a top quality olive oil.
From the entrance of the product to the facilities of the Molí d’Oli Forés, an exhaustive monitoring and quality control is sought. The olives are classified according to quality and provenance in order to improve the quality of the products obtained.
The Forí Oil Mill has 3 continuous production lines, which allows you to obtain up to 3 different oil qualities simultaneously. The production system of the Molí d’Oli Forés allows the processing of up to 500,000 kilos of olives per day. Extraction of extra virgin olive oil is carried out only by cold physical procedures.

L’oli
The activity of Agrícola Industrial Forés S.L. is developed in one of the regions of Spain with more oleícola tradition. The varieties of the land -the Sevillian olive, forge and bite-, promote a soft and balanced oil. These traditional varieties together with the good knowledge of the Forí Oil Mill produce an oil with the main positive attributes of sweet and fruity.
In addition, oils of the Arbequina variety are produced, typical of Catalonia, and a variety recognized worldwide for the quality of its oil.
The company manufactures wholesale oil for almost all packers in northern Spain, as well as markets and sells retail oil with its own range of virgin and extra virgin oils.
In recent years the company has planted its own farms of the Arbossana variety, which allows it to produce a premium quality olive oil, with perfect traceability, controlling from its planting, agricultural treatments and harvesting, to produce an oil destined for its gourmet brand Molí del Llarg.

Production zone
The Forí Oil Mill is located in Tortosa, in the heart of the Catalan Ebro. The mild climate and the proximity of the river determine ideal conditions for the agricultural work of our centuries-old olive trees.
In our area we have large areas of traditional olive trees, most of which are centuries old, and which form the largest concentration of millennial olive trees in the world. This unique landscape, together with our Mediterranean climate and the traditional varieties (farga, sevillenca and morruda) produce a unique sweet and fruity oil, and highly valued since ancient times for its quality.
In addition to the production of oils with varieties from the Terres de l’Ebre (farga, morruda and sevillenca), the company processes olives from the central and northern regions of Spain that produce sweet and fruity oil characteristic of the Forí Oil Mill.
