The Hacienda Ipora estate lies in the heart of the Estepa region on the eastern edge of the province of Seville. It is flanked on the east by the Estepa mountains and its stony uplands offer a spectacular view of the olive groves on the gently rolling slopes below. Seville's fertile farmland borders the estate's western and northern sides, while the Penibetic mountains dominate the horizon to the south.The estate dates back to the former Hispano-Roman town of Ípora and has had links with olive production ever since. The old oil mill set in the midst of the olive trees bears witness to this tradition. It is one of the three mills originally owned by the Marquis of Estepa in the 16th century and was used to press olives from across the region. Today, it is a state-of-the-art olive-oil plant. The estate's 650-hectare olive grove still includes century-old traditionally dry-farmed olive trees alongside the intensively farmed irrigated crop.
