Mallafré is a family-run olive-oil mill that was set up in 1934 by Joan Mallafré Salvado and his wife, Josefa Cros Torrents, in a town called Riudoms in the Baix Camp region of Tarragona.

For many years, the mill was made up of some millstones or a stone mill and a hydraulic press. In 1975, with the help of my father, Humbert Mallafré Cros, my grandfather, Joan Mallafré Salvado, invested in another set of millstones and a second hydraulic press.
In 1984, my father extended the mill even further by purchasing two more up-to-date hydraulic presses.
Due to the increase in the production of olives in 1989 and with the help of the third

generation of the family, a new centrifugation system was introduced with the purchase of a press with a capacity to process 40,000 kg of olives per day. Following that, another continuous press was purchased, which enabled the family to double the mill production.
In 2003 we purchased a new mill with the capacity to produce 100,000 kg per day.

Our olive-oil mill is unlike any other, due to the fact that it is made up of a set of millstones, four hydraulic presses and two continuous systems with partial extraction systems called Sinolea and Palacin, their respective decanters and centrifuges.
