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.
