Cabac\u00e9s is a village of about 300 inhabitants located at an altitude of 357 meters, west of the Priorat region (Tarragona, Spain), between the ravines of Les Comes and La Cal\u00e7ada.<\/p>\n

The municipality has a land area of 32.21 km\u00b2 and is crossed from north to south by the river Montsant which divides the territory into two unequal zones. The largest extends along the last western foothills of the Serra del Montsant natural Park, the other climbs the eastern slopes of the Serra la Llena and also includes a part of the mountain of Sant Pau, in the Serra de la Figuera.<\/p>\n

The steep slopes of the terrain make it a great contrast between the highest part, in Montsant, and the relatively flat areas of the lower part and the irrigated banks of the river.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

1933<\/p>

Sindicat Agr\u00edcola de Cabac\u00e9s<\/h3>

Our Cooperative was founded in 1933 by 51 farmers from the village with the name of Sindicat Agr\u00edcola de Cabac\u00e9s<\/strong> with the intention of jointly producing and marketing their agricultural production, mainly olives and grapes.<\/p>

The main objective was the improvement of the agriculture<\/strong> of the town generally, and the construction of the building of the cooperative, that was constructed by the own farmers. Some of them pledged some of the necessary loans with their estates.<\/p>

Focused on quality:<\/strong> The board of directors, elected by the members, gave instructions on treatments and methods of collection. If the rules were not followed or olives were brought in bad condition, they could be rejected.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

1933<\/p>

The \"Uni\u00f3 Agr\u00edcola\"<\/h3>

Some farmers in the village, dissatisfied with the leftist profile of the board of directors of the \"Sindicat Agr\u00edcola\" (despite not having any official political affiliation), created the \"Uni\u00f3 Agr\u00edcola\", with similar purposes: to produce better quality oil and wine and with strict rules of production using a mill already existing in the village and which they acquired.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

1938<\/p>

Merger of entities<\/h3>

The Spanish Civil War that broke out in 1936 directly affected the farmers of Cabac\u00e9s, who saw the pack animals seized and caused the destruction of documentation.<\/p>

In 1938 the 'Uni\u00f3 agr\u00edcola', after a disastrous harvest, voluntarily merged with the 'Sindicat Agr\u00edcola'. The following year they had to expand the cooperative's facilities due to the good harvest and the increase in membership.<\/p>

This initiative to move forward stands out especially in a time of fratricidal war.<\/p>

1939<\/p>

Dissolution of the Sindicat Agr\u00edcola<\/h3>

In 1939, after the end of the war, the Franco regime declared the Sindicat Agr\u00edcola a Marxist entity, and its assets were transferred to the Delegaci\u00f3n Nacional de Sindicatos<\/strong>. The Uni\u00f3 Agr\u00edcola had to be revived, which was resurrected because it was allowed, adapting it to the new laws.<\/p>

In any case, the building of the 'Sindicat' continued to be used to make the products of all the farmers. So it can be said that the 'Uni\u00f3 Agr\u00edcola' would follow the tradition<\/strong> of the two entities founded in 1933<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

1941<\/p>

Post-war difficulties<\/h3>

In 1941 the economic situation of the cooperative was precarious due to debt claims, which also affected farmers who pledged with their properties. This situation is added on top of the many problems caused from the war.<\/p>

However, the economy is improving at a good pace, and in 1943 there are 152 members and 327 hectares (3.27km\u00b2) cultivated.<\/p>

1946<\/p>

Production<\/h3>

In 1943 wine still predominates over olive oil. This trend would soon change: by 1948 oil was already very prevalent over wine.<\/p>

During the following years there were not many outstanding events, apart from some fines for not declaring everything they produced, probably for dedicating it to the black market (common during Franco dictatorship).<\/p>

1960-1969<\/p>

The improvement of the 60s<\/h3>

Once the post-war period was over, and with Franco's Spain opening up to the outside world, the 1960s saw a great economic improvement.<\/p>

The cooperative bought a lot of modern machinery, although granite millstones and presses installed in 1933 were still used to crush the olives. Numerous improvement works were also carried out.<\/p>

Rural Bank<\/h3>

Without any bank in the village and with many difficulties and means to manage the money in banks, it was decided to found the 'Caixa Rural' for the members.

1960-1987<\/p>

The recovery of the property of the cooperative<\/h3>

During this time the 'Organizaci\u00f3n Sindical'<\/em> tried to sell the cooperative's building to the 'Hermandad Sindical de Cabac\u00e9s'<\/em> , after several unanswered proposals, it was answered that they were not interested in buying it for the value they were selling it.<\/p>

It was later asked to the 'Delegaci\u00f3n Nacional de Sindicatos'<\/em> to return the property, as they would not find any buyer for a building that belonged to everyone and that among all the farmers and the cooperative had been preserved and improved for the service of the own members.<\/p>

It was repeatedly insisted, similarly asking different people and organizations to transfer the property, until finally it was given free of charge to the 'Hermandad Sindical de Cabac\u00e9s'.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Cooperativa Agr\u00edcola i Caixa Agr\u00e0ria de Cabac\u00e9s, SCCL.<\/h3>

In 1985 the cooperative adapted to the new laws of the Generalitat de Catalunya, and was renamed the Cooperativa Agr\u00edcola i Caixa Agr\u00e0ria de Cabac\u00e9s, SCCL.<\/p>

In 1987 the 'Hermandad Sindical de Cabac\u00e9s'<\/em> donated the building of the cooperative to the 'Cooperativa Agr\u00edcola de Cabac\u00e9s SCCL', thus completing the long process of recovering the ownership of the building that was seized in 1939.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

1989-1999<\/p>

Improvement of machinery<\/h3>

In 1989, a process of quality improvement in production processes began: granite presses and millstones were replaced by a three-phase continuous extraction system, and the entire machine room was adapted. This made it possible to turn the olives into dough, and using a centrifugation process, the oil, the oilseeds and the pomace was separated.<\/p>

An olive reception and cleaning system was installed in 1991, eliminating work for farmers who no longer had to completely separate the leaves, it then was done with machinery, and improved cleaning with a system of water and air pumps that separated olives from leafs and small stones.<\/p>

Later, in 1994, the two-phase centrifugal extraction system was adapted to make it much more environmentally friendly.<\/p>

Finally, in 1999 a packaging machine was installed and the agro-shop was built and in 2000 the Baronia de Cabac\u00e9s<\/strong> brand was registered.<\/p>

2003<\/p>

Agr\u00edcola i Secci\u00f3 de Cr\u00e8dit de Cabac\u00e9s, SCCL. <\/h3>

In 2003, the production of organic oil<\/strong> began, with five farmers. The same year the legislation changed, and with the statutory change the name was changed to ' Agr\u00edcola i Secci\u00f3 de Cr\u00e8dit de Cabac\u00e9s, SCCL<\/strong> '.<\/p>

A large investment was also made in improving quality<\/strong> , with a new traceability system, a record of phytosanitary treatments that the trees receive, and new regulations for delivering olives to the mill, so that they arrive in better condition, ventilated and preventing them from being crushed or fermented before they are processed.<\/p>

All pipes and tanks were renovated, all made of stainless steel to ensure quality.<\/p>

Awards<\/h3>

The results of the improvements in the production processes were immediate: the extra virgin olive oil Baronia de Cabac\u00e9s began to receive local, national and international awards.<\/p>

2015-2021<\/p>

Increased capacity<\/h3>

In 2015, 3 tanks that were formerly used to store wine were renovated to store oil, and in 2018, stainless steel tanks were purchased to store more oil. This made it possible to save more oil and not have to sell quality oil in bulk due to lack of storing capacity.<\/p>

In 2016, a first change of machinery was made to increase production capacity, and in 2021, after an exceptional harvest in 2020, a decanter was replaced to further increase production capacity.<\/p>
