Abstract

The article focuses on the rhetorical history that the Andalusian firm Acesur, one of Spain’s leading olive-oil companies, has been constructing over the years. The text answers the questions of how and when the firm a) configured a historical narrative aimed at external agents and developed around two key elements: longevity and the link of its region of origin with olive oil; b) constructed social memory assets to identify itself and its brands with elements of regional culture and thus catalyse the country of origin effect; and c) adapted the use of its history to its own changes, to those of its environment and to its strategic decisions. The rhetorical story, in use during more than 150 years, is one of the tools that have contributed to the growth of Acesur in different markets in which it operates.
