I can only say one thing about Andrés Aguilar: gratitude. He was the first oil mill I spoke to when we started this project, and he made himself available to us for anything we needed, without any strings attached.
It's no surprise that it was part of our first Starter Pack, because in addition to great people, they have excellent products. We know this firsthand because during the production period, Andrés Aguilar was our second home.
This isn't an oil you can find just anywhere. In fact, as far as I know, you can only find it in three places: at their Almazara, at Paraíso Virgen Extra in Jaén, and here at Molino y Cata.
If you decide to visit them, they're located next to the Linares south exit off the A-32 highway. Tell them you're coming from us.
This premium olive oil was produced during the first days of harvest with unripe green olives, maintaining controlled temperature throughout the process.
With an intense and lively character, Andrés Aguilar Picual represents the best of Jaén in every bottle. Its careful production using Picual olives harvested at the optimal time guarantees a robust, authentic oil with a strong personality.
Picual is not only the most widespread variety in the province of Jaén—it also symbolizes how Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil has quietly yet decisively earned a place on the world’s gastronomic map.

Across more than 1,800 hectares—including a natural area the brand has reforested in joint projects with SEO BirdLife and Olivares Vivos—you’ll find everything from a variety garden to organic and biodynamic groves.

Jabalcuz Gran Selección is an early-harvest extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) made by a small cooperative in Jaén.
It is produced in October from mountain-grown Picual olives, harvested both mechanically and by hand due to the rugged terrain of Jaén’s southern sierras, where most cooperative members farm.
Crafted with care: the mill masters use state-of-the-art tools to select the best groves for Jabalcuz Gran Selección, then process in short batches over the few days of production. Each lot is tasted and only the finest are chosen for the final blend.
It comes from the Sociedad Cooperativa Andaluza Sierra de la Pandera in Los Villares (Jaén). The October harvest and cold extraction preserve freshness, green aromas, and top quality.
It has been distinguished with the Jaén Selección 2025 seal—recognising the province’s best EVOOs—and the Mario Solinas award granted by the International Olive Council.

The Hojiblanca olive is known for its dual purpose. During September it is picked for table olives (“verdeo”), and in October–November it is harvested to produce extra virgin olive oil.
Hojiblanca EVOOs are characterised by intensity, powerful aromas and a chilli-like kick on the tongue—somewhat like Frantoio—though their aromatic profile leans more toward Picual.
Among Jaén EVOOs it’s not very common to find Hojiblanca, as it is more popular in the provinces of Córdoba and Seville, where it has adapted over centuries.
Balanced and silky, Oro Bailén Hojiblanca wins you over with harmony and smoothness. Enjoy it raw if you prefer intense oils, or use it in cooking to add nuanced finishing touches to flavourful dishes.

Lucio is a minor yet highly prized olive variety native to the province of Granada, where it has traditionally grown in unique settings such as the woods that surround the Alhambra. Its history dates back to the period of Arab rule in Andalusia, when its cultivation became part of the region’s agricultural life.
Today, Lucio faces gradual abandonment due to the difficulty of harvesting: many trees are centuries old and grow in areas where mechanisation is impossible and the crop must be picked by hand.
Finding a high-quality Lucio olive oil is a real challenge. Low yields and the complexity of the process mean that much of the oil on the market comes from fruit that has surpassed its optimal ripeness, losing part of its characteristic aromas and nuances. Tasting a Lucio Extra Virgin Olive Oil at its peak is therefore uncommon—an experience reserved for true olive-oil connoisseurs.
In this context, Aceite Supremo has rescued and showcased this overlooked variety, producing an early-harvest Lucio that stands out for its initial sweetness and surprising aromatic complexity. Notes of ripe fruit, slight herbaceous touches, and a perfect balance between bitterness and pungency make it a singular extra virgin olive oil that breaks away from the most familiar profiles of other Andalusian varieties.
Supremo Lucio is the result of meticulous selection and cold milling that preserves the essence of the fruit intact. Every bottle is an authentic expression of Lucio in its purest form—a tribute to Granada’s agricultural heritage and to Aceite Supremo’s commitment to excellence. Its profile makes it the perfect ally to elevate delicate dishes such as white fish, fresh salads, or soft cheeses, where its nuances can be fully appreciated.
For lovers of premium oils, the Lucio oil from Aceite Supremo is not only a gastronomic product, but also an opportunity to preserve a historic variety that deserves a place at our tables. An oil that unites tradition, rarity, and quality in every drop.
