Cultivating with lots of love
Nurturing with plenty of Love. From Galicia we grow and develop products that are responsible with the land and its inhabitants. Thus, between all of us, we create a better world for people.
We were born in Paderne (Galicia) in the middle of the World Biosphere Reserve “Mariñas coruñesas e Terras do Mandeo” and near the Natural Park of Fragas do Eume. Next to one of the best preserved Atlantic forests in Europe, our crops are born.
Do you know how an organic farm works? Do you want to know how aromatic herbs and tea are grown? Orballo opens its doors to tell you all the secrets hidden in its crops.
As lovers of nature, healthy food and the Galician countryside we feel that there is nothing more grateful than working on the land; that’s why in 2012 we decided to start Orballo and offer you 100% organic products of the best quality.
From the region of “As Mariñas”, province of A Coruña, in Spain, we started to cultivate and revalue species such as chestnut trees, hazelnut trees, walnut trees and multiple aromatic plants, with the respect and care that our land deserves.
We grow spices and aromatic plants 100% organic.

Commitments to biodiversity conservation and local development
Located in the Mariñas Coruñesas e Terras do Mandeo Biosphere Reserve, we are a company of young people who have been working in organic farming for a decade.
Since 2012 we have been developing plantations of native species, then implementing various lines of work with spices, aromatic plants for infusions and, finally, with a large plantation of Camellia Sinensis, from which we obtain the first organic tea in Continental Europe.
In our visits we try to make people aware of respect for the environment, teaching our traditional working techniques, the secrets of our plantations and the complete route that our products make from the village of Donín to kitchens around the world.
We have the organic farming seal that certifies all our processes and as our motto says, “we are responsible for the world we want to have”.
