Our story
It all starts in Baeza: groves, science, tasting and an olive oil shop in Granada for sharing singular extra virgin olive oils.
Molino & Cata comes from a family linked to olive groves, research and olive oil culture. Marino Uceda brings technical memory and scientific criteria; Mercedes Uceda selects and explains every oil through professional tasting; Jeronimo Palacios connects product, technology and business so singular producers can reach customers better.
The Granada oleoteca is the meeting point: a small, direct and specialised space where every oil is tasted before it is chosen.
Calle Paz, 12
We work with producers and mills that care for origin, variety and harvest. In-store, online or in a tasting, the decision is made with sensory criteria, not just by label.

The best way to understand Molino & Cata is to sit down, taste and compare.
