Our Story
We value nature, community, and craftsmanship.
We’re working to protect an inclusive, small-scale farming culture that is disappearing in Andalucía. We stand for authenticity and integrity in an industry that needs better oversight and consumer protections.
We believe:
- Genuine extra virgin olive oil is a superfood
- Maintaining biodiversity makes farming more sustainable
- Local growers should be rewarded fairly for their work
- Transparent, traceable practices make accountability real
Small farmers and rural communities benefit when their unique, heritage products are appropriately valued. We’re passionate about sharing these very special foods with you.
- Tracy & María

LA PRIMERA was created by María Rivero and Tracy Bassett.
We are a collaborative project with small farmers, rural cooperatives, and family producers in Córdoba, Spain.
