Thanks to a combination of traditional methods with the most technologically advanced ones, we are able to elaborate our Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil at the same time that the harvest begins. Thus, the olive is ground the very same day that it is harvested, which is a basic condition for obtaining an excellent extra virgin oil.
Picual is the most important olive variety in the world and
is the most widely cultivated variety in Spain. Total surface exceeds a million hectares, of which some 850,000 are grown in Spain.
The Picual olive as a rule, permits us to obtain an oil featuring marked character, fruity, peppery bite and hints of apple that
clearly sets it apart from other lighter varieties.
The traditional way of harvesting the olives is called “el vareo”. El vareo consists of hitting and shaking the branches of the olive
tree, with long wooden sticks, which allows the fruit to fall in the surrounding nets placed around the tree. In spite of the technological
advances, olive harvesting must be done almost manually to avoid any damages to the tree and to respect it for future harvests.
Adjacent to Sierra de Cazorla, in Jaén, our oil is made from
the same variety of olives, which is Picual, and in the same conditions of climate, altitude, farming methods and extraction methods as the one produced in Jaén. Our oil is characterized by its fruity aroma, slightly spicy flavor, color and consistency.
