Early Harvest Oils

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.

Hacienda Santa María is a company that stands out for two things: its quality of work and its attention to detail. Anyone who has worked with them knows that their focus is on creating great products and building long-term relationships.

That's why when we sat down to think about the first brands we wanted to incorporate, this was one of the ones we knew would be a sure thing.

With this product, which has won the Jaén Selección 2025 award, in addition to 96 points in the Iberoleum guide, you get four things: flavor, design, aromas, and sustainability.

Hojiblanca is one of the most popular varieties in the Málaga area. Finca la Torre produces this biodynamic and organic extra virgin olive oil.

Elegant and full of personality, Dominus Cosecha Temprana was born in the first days of harvest in Jaén.

This extra virgin olive oil, from the Picual variety, reflects youth and character in every drop, a true gift for discerning palates that value freshness and supreme quality.

This is a personal project by Víctor Uceda, who decided to produce a limited run of 2,000 bottles of early harvest Picual olive oil. This special Cristina Lucas edition is also a charitable project, donating a portion of its profits to the NGO Babies Uganda. The designs on the box and bottle were created by the children who will benefit from part of the proceeds from the sale of this edition.

This is an integrated Picual produced at high altitude on the outskirts of Granada. It takes its name from the ancient village of Dílar, through which one of the most historically important rivers in the city of the Alhambra flows.

It is produced in olive groves cultivated within the Sierra Nevada Natural Park, cared for by traditional farmers.

It has a careful olive selection and milling process that presents special harvesting characteristics due to its location at an altitude of over a thousand meters.

Oro del Desierto 1/10 is an extra virgin olive oil from a very early harvest, picked in the first days of October when the olives are still in the veraison stage, meaning they are almost green (approximately 95%). The name "1/10" refers to two key aspects: first, the harvest date, which is at the beginning of October (the 1st of the 10th month); and second, that 10 kg of olives of this quality and in this stage are needed to obtain one liter of this very special oil.

This is a freshly extracted, seasonal olive oil of exceptional quality. It is recommended to consume it raw only within the first 6 to 8 months after production to fully appreciate its flavor, aroma, and properties. It is made with a blend of Arbequina (40%) and Picual (60%) olive varieties and produced on the El Vicario estate in the Tabernas Desert (Almería).

This blend is the result of a frustration: the Benízar variety. Since there isn't enough of it to make a single-varietal wine, Pago de Peñarrubia uses it to create this magnificent blend with splendid results.
