SoloAceite

SoloAceite
Jaén, Spain

THE INNOVATION:

SoloAceite is a small company producing high-quality extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). They are principally located in Jaen, Spain, with collaborators in Galicia and Catalunya. Their goal is to expand and develop EVOO culture and defend the richness of variety and production as essential characteristics for choosing and purchasing it. Currently, the sibling duo that forms SoloAceite is working towards creating a community of small extra virgin olive oil producers that will collaborate to bring more high quality EVOO to customers in a way that is efficient and more affordable for producers, without unnecessary packaging and intermediaries.

LOOKING AHEAD:

In addition to the development of a producers community, in Food Tech 3.0, SoloAceite also hopes to investigate how small producers can access small olive oil mills, which are typically expensive, and how they might work together to transport pre-packaged olive oil directly to urban customers (maturing & combining).

FoodSHIFT 2030 aims to launch an ambitious citizen-driven transition of the European food system towards a low carbon circular future, including a shift to less meat and more plant based diets. This transition is necessary in order to address the pressing challenges for food and nutrition security, contribute to the EU commitment of reducing GHG emissions by at least 40% by 2030, and revitalize urban-rural linkages and partnerships.

To do so, it establishes FoodSHIFT Accelerator Labs for maturing, combining, upscaling and multiplying existing food system innovations across nine front-runner city-regions. In turn these innovations contribute to the FoodSHIFT vision.

An Innovation Catalogue called “Innovation Portraits” was created to snapshot each of the Food Innovations connected with each of the FoodSHIFT Accelerator Labs (FALs) across the 9 city regions.

Info about the Innovation Portraits Catalogue

The Innovation Catalogue will snapshot each of the Food Innovations connected with each of the FoodSHIFT Accelerator Labs (FALs) across the 9 city regions. Each FAL has a dedicated innovation focus and each chapter will present innovation cases from a particular FAL. For each of the innovations presented, a snapshot of the innovation concept and purpose will be given, alongside the key impacts the innovation has in relation to the FoodSHIFT Impact Pathways and the acceleration ambitions of the innovation.

In addition, each innovation portrait is also categorized according to its Innovation Dimension. These dimensions indicate what kind of innovation is being presented, and where in the value chain it plays a role. This is indicated by these tabs. The dimensions are defined as follows:

Product – Innovations in this category address new or updated products, including quality, safety and market impact.

Process – These innovations are relevant to new technologies for processing, logistical improvements, infrastructure and new/improved services.

Social – Innovations in this category are relevant to changes in behaviour (e.g. consumers/citizens), development of new relationships and inclusiveness.

Governance – The innovations address policy developments, including food planning, subsidies, taxing, certificates & labelling.
