The Oil Mill

SCA Virgin of Zocueca

The Virgen de Zocueca Agricultural Cooperative was one of the founding entities of Picualia, a high-quality extra virgin olive oil company. In 2009, Virgen de Zocueca merged with Agrícola de Bailén to create Picualia, a modern olive oil mill located in the heart of Jaén province.

This merger, which culminated a process dating back 70 years, enabled the construction of modern facilities and the production of excellent quality virgin and extra virgin olive oils.

Picualia has since become one of the most innovative companies in the sector, winning more than 50 national and international awards, including recognition as the Best Olive Oil Mill in Spain in 2016 by the Spanish Association of Olive Municipalities (AEMO).
