About Aceites de primera prensada

The San Vicente cooperative, located in Mogón, near the Cazorla, Segura, and Las Villas mountains, has been focusing on quality in recent years with this Early Picual. This is a special edition selected from the best wines from its cellar.

This Early Picual, harvested and processed during the month of October, symbolizes the excellence of a brand recognized throughout Spain for its effort and great results.

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.

Oro Bailén completes its 100% single-varietal range with this Hojiblanca, harvested and produced on the brand’s estates and mill in northern Jaén. Made entirely from Hojiblanca olives, it brings freshness and lightness to any dish.

The Frantoio olive—together with Coratina—is one of Italy’s most cultivated varieties. It is especially iconic in Tuscany, shaping the landscapes and aromas we associate with the region in the popular imagination.

In recent years, some growers have introduced the variety to the northern areas of Jaén. Frantoio extra virgin olive oil is distinctive for its balance, bitter-almond notes, and a chilli-like pungency reminiscent of Hojiblanca.

This Oro Bailén Frantoio is an exclusive, refined oil made solely from Frantoio olives. A single-varietal that forms part of the Oro Bailén monovarietal family (Villanueva de la Reina), it offers excellent value for money, appreciated for its rounded profile and differentiation from other Jaén EVOOs.

Viscount of Almansa: A visionary project

This Coratina is a multi-faceted experience. A personal vision of modernizing a multi-generational tradition. A collaboration with one of the most modern olive oil mills in the province of Jaén. A great deal of artistry by Isabel Cabello to reinterpret Schrödl's original painting that observes this generational change.

Along with Frantoio, Coratina is Italy's most representative variety. One is more potent, the other is more subtle.

The harvest takes place in a modern, converted olive grove near Espeluy, where a variety uncommon in the province of Jaén was chosen.

It is harvested at the veraison stage - or early harvest - and milled and processed at the Oleícola Jaén facilities in Baeza.

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.

This extra virgin olive oil, made from the Pajarero variety, a very rare variety native to the south of the province of Córdoba, is grown by the Rubio-Chavarri family on their traditional olive grove in Priego de Córdoba.

This is part of a pioneering project for the aforementioned variety, launched in 2018 in the Priego region. The 2024/2025 campaign produced 471 liters, of which very few units are currently available.

Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil is one of the great gastronomic treasures of Andalusia, and in particular of the province of Jaén. Known as the world’s olive oil capital, this land offers the ideal conditions to produce a product with a distinct personality and remarkable intensity. Picual is the most widely cultivated variety in the region, renowned for its high content of natural antioxidants and polyphenols, which not only provide character and flavour but also offer numerous health benefits. These qualities are fully expressed in this Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Aceites Supremo, one of the most recognised examples of authentic Jaén Olive Oil.

In producing this Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil, carefully selected olives are harvested at their optimal ripeness. The early harvest, a hallmark of Aceites Supremo’s quality, ensures a powerful flavour, a robust body, and a perfect balance between bitterness and pungency. From the hand-picking process to cold milling just a few hours later, every step is designed to preserve the freshness and aromatic profile of the fruit.

One of the most distinctive features of Aceites Supremo is its annual Pinta Supremo competition, where emerging artists are chosen to illustrate the label for each season. This fusion of art and gastronomy transforms every bottle into a unique piece that combines the excellence of Jaén Olive Oil with the creative talent of contemporary designers and painters.

This visual identity, combined with the unmistakable quality of Extra Virgin Olive Oil from the Picual variety, makes it the perfect choice for those seeking an ingredient that elevates any dish. From fine dining to everyday home cooking, this oil brings a distinctive touch to both cold and hot recipes.

Its respectful and natural production ensures that each bottle captures the essence of the most authentic Andalusian olive grove.

This is a personal project by Víctor Uceda, who decided to launch a limited production of 2,000 bottles of early-harvest oil featuring his Picuales. This special edition Kikaya is also a charity project that donates part of its profits to the NGO Babies Uganda. The designs on the box and bottle were designed by the children, to whom part of the profits collected from the sale of this edition will go.

Finca la Pontezuela has outdone itself with this Hojiblanca, which, in addition to being in the Evooleum Top 10, has also won the most important award in the olive oil sector in 2025: the Mario Solinas.

Powerful, fruity and with the characteristic chili touch of the variety, it cannot be missing from the pantry of a true lover of gourmet oils.

Oro del Desierto 1/10 es un aceite de oliva virgen extra de cosecha muy temprana, recogido en los primeros días de octubre cuando las aceitunas aún están en envero, es decir, casi verdes (aproximadamente un 95%). El nombre "1/10" hace referencia a dos aspectos fundamentales: primero, la fecha de recolección, que es a principios de octubre (el 1 del mes 10); y segundo, que hacen falta 10 kg de aceitunas de esta calidad y en este estado para obtener un litro de este aceite tan especial.

Se trata de un aceite recién extraído, fresco de temporada y de una calidad excepcional, que se recomienda consumir únicamente en crudo durante los primeros 6 a 8 meses tras su producción para aprovechar al máximo su sabor, aroma y propiedades. Está elaborado con una mezcla de las variedades Arbequina (40%) y Picual (60%) y producida en la finca El Vicario, en el Desierto de Tabernas (Almería).
