Why we chose it
Pedro called us to give them a hand with the bottling of the early oils. What Oro de Baeza bottles is a blend created by Mercedes: she made this fantastic Picual and set aside the best to bottle in Lírico, its flagship.

How to enjoy it
An early Picual with fruitiness, bitterness, and spiciness in equal measure. Tomato, freshly cut grass, and olive leaf. It is oil for dishes with character.
First, tomato: salmorejo, gazpacho, bread with tomato, or a real tomato salad with flaky salt. It is its natural partner.
Raw over salads with a base and legumes: potato, quinoa, chickpeas, or lentils. The bitterness lifts dishes that taste flat on the palate.
With grilled red meat, added at the end, with oily fish (tuna, mackerel, sardines), and with aged sheep’s milk cheeses. It stands up to the fat and cuts through it.
And if you dare, with dark chocolate or an orange with salt. The spicy finish suits cocoa better than you might think.
The mill
Oleandaluza
Oleandaluza es una almazara de Baeza que viene de la cooperativa La Loma, fundada en 1968. Instaló su primera almazara en 1981. En 1989 un grupo de agricultores compró el molino «Farfarina» y fundó la SAT Oleandaluza.
Desde 2025 la llevan los hermanos Rafael y Pedro Vega, que han apostado por embotellar con marca propia: Oro de Baeza, en Picual, Arbequina, Frantoio y Royal, de cosecha temprana recogida a primeros de octubre.
Esta campaña Mercedes Uceda ha participado en el loteo del Picual. Elegir los lotes es donde se decide si un aceite será bueno o solo correcto.
