Our History

Mr. José Bravo Solano, after a long journey of effort and perseverance, achieved his dream of founding his own company. In 1976, he founded ‘Olives and Pickles Bravo’, a family-owned business.

Throughout the years, we have been growing and incorporating the latest technology as well as state-of-the-art-equipment, but without forgetting the principles that his creator had trusted us with: a great love for what we do and providing our customers with a bespoke approach and attention-to-detail service.

The quality of our products is what has made us not only to stay strong in the competitive trade market, but also to continue our growth to the point where we currently are as one of the most well-spread companies in the Costa del Sol, Spain.


Our Company


At ´Olives and Pickles Bravo´ we specialise in the seasoning of Manzanilla Olives of the Aloreña variety, which has been considered as `the finest of the olives´. The Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) of this olive, native to the Guadalhorce river valley and the Sierra de las Nieves, has finally become a reality positioning itself as the first type of Spanish olive with this quality hallmark.

As well as our flagship product, the Manzanilla Aloreña olive, at Olives and Pickles Bravo we can offer our customers a variety of olives and pickles.

You can also find a wide range of products such as spices & herbs, canned food, salt cured products, nuts, pulses etc.
