Introduction to Pomegranate Oils

Tradition, Variety and Excellence

Extra virgin olive oils (EVOO) from Granada are renowned for their exceptional quality and diverse nuances, the result of a long olive-growing tradition that combines ancient methods with modern innovations. In this Andalusian province, varieties such as Picual, Hojiblanca, Picudo, Lechín, and the native Lucio and Loaime predominate. Each contributes unique characteristics that enrich the organoleptic profile of the oils, notable for their intense fruity aroma, herbaceous nuances, and a balanced balance of bitterness, sweetness, and spiciness.

The province is home to two prestigious Protected Designations of Origin: the Montes de Granada DOP, known for its intense oils with a high antioxidant content and fresh aromas of leaves and tomatoes; and the Poniente de Granada DOP, which offers balanced, smooth, and fruity oils, perfect for satisfying diverse palates. Renowned brands such as O-Med, Quaryat Dillar, and Orodeal, as well as prominent cooperatives such as Algarinejo and San Francisco de Montefrío, have won numerous national and international awards, consolidating Granada's global reputation as a gourmet product of the highest quality.
