Supremo Lucio

Lucio is a minor yet highly prized olive variety native to the province of Granada, where it has traditionally grown in unique settings such as the woods that surround the Alhambra. Its history dates back to the period of Arab rule in Andalusia, when its cultivation became part of the region’s agricultural life.

Today, Lucio faces gradual abandonment due to the difficulty of harvesting: many trees are centuries old and grow in areas where mechanisation is impossible and the crop must be picked by hand.

Finding a high-quality Lucio olive oil is a real challenge. Low yields and the complexity of the process mean that much of the oil on the market comes from fruit that has surpassed its optimal ripeness, losing part of its characteristic aromas and nuances. Tasting a Lucio Extra Virgin Olive Oil at its peak is therefore uncommon—an experience reserved for true olive-oil connoisseurs.

In this context, Aceite Supremo has rescued and showcased this overlooked variety, producing an early-harvest Lucio that stands out for its initial sweetness and surprising aromatic complexity. Notes of ripe fruit, slight herbaceous touches, and a perfect balance between bitterness and pungency make it a singular extra virgin olive oil that breaks away from the most familiar profiles of other Andalusian varieties.

Supremo Lucio is the result of meticulous selection and cold milling that preserves the essence of the fruit intact. Every bottle is an authentic expression of Lucio in its purest form—a tribute to Granada’s agricultural heritage and to Aceite Supremo’s commitment to excellence. Its profile makes it the perfect ally to elevate delicate dishes such as white fish, fresh salads, or soft cheeses, where its nuances can be fully appreciated.

For lovers of premium oils, the Lucio oil from Aceite Supremo is not only a gastronomic product, but also an opportunity to preserve a historic variety that deserves a place at our tables. An oil that unites tradition, rarity, and quality in every drop.
