Events in Córdoba, Spain, have focused on the promotion and scientific study of olive oil and oliviculture. Initially, the DOP Priego de Córdoba participated in the European Researchers' Night to connect scientific research with olive oil culture through tastings and educational activities regarding production processes and local varieties.

This focus on the sector expanded with the opening of the II Iberian Congress of Oliviculture in Córdoba. The congress addressed ‘Oliviculture in a context of global change: Innovation, Sustainability and Territory’, highlighting the region's significant agricultural footprint. Data presented noted that Córdoba holds more than 30% of Andalusia's organic olive groves, with the province containing over 190 olive oil mills and four Protected Designation of Origin classifications.
