About Jaén Selection 2025
The "Jaén Selección" label is a quality mark created by the Jaén Provincial Council to distinguish the best extra virgin olive oils from this province in each harvest.
This distinction recognizes the excellence of this product, a symbol of Jaén, the world's leading producer of olive oil.
In 2025, eight oils were recognized: six conventionally produced Picual varieties, and two organically produced Picual varieties.
These oils are selected through a blind tasting competition conducted by a panel of tasters comprised of professionals from the best tasting panels in Spain and other oil-producing countries.
After their selection, these oils are present in the tourism and agri-food promotion actions promoted by the Jaén Provincial Council and play a leading role in the OleotourJaén tourism strategy, thus becoming the best ambassadors of Jaén.

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.
