About News

O-MED's award-winning Picual is olive juice produced during the month of October with carefully selected olives from the family estate. It is mechanically extracted, cold-pressed, and continuously filtered after extraction to preserve its organoleptic characteristics to the fullest.

This Picual has won the Spanish Food Award for three consecutive years, in addition to being one of the most internationally recognized brands among consumers.

This product is a delight. Made with a base of Extra Virgin Arbequina olives, the olives are ground together with selected lemons from the Lecrín Valley in Granada during the month of December to obtain an EVOO-based condiment with a fantastic lemon aroma.

To make this natural, additive-free product, more than a thousand lemons are hand-peeled and then hand-milled along with the olives to create a gourmet product that will delight even the most discerning consumer.

The third addition to Quaryat Dillar's premium range is this high-end Arbequina. Grown in mountain olive groves at over a thousand meters above sea level, it is harvested during the month of October to ensure optimal fruit quality.

Without waiting long, it is cold-milled in the family's oil mill on the outskirts of Granada, in the town of Dílar. It is immediately filtered to preserve aromas and flavors.

The Quaryat Dillar Blend is composed of 50% Picual, 25% Picudo, and 25% Hojiblanca. It is an EVOO of great complexity and aromas, very fruity. This blend is made with olives from the family estate in a mountain olive grove at an altitude of over 1,000 meters.

This is a unique product due to its harvesting and processing characteristics. The difficulty in producing this blend lies in obtaining three high-quality oils to achieve the final composition.

This is an integrated Picual produced at high altitude on the outskirts of Granada. It takes its name from the ancient village of Dílar, through which one of the most historically important rivers in the city of the Alhambra flows.

It is produced in olive groves cultivated within the Sierra Nevada Natural Park, cared for by traditional farmers.

It has a careful olive selection and milling process that presents special harvesting characteristics due to its location at an altitude of over a thousand meters.

This Arbequina has been carefully harvested during the month of October, cold-milled and mechanically extracted at the O-MED Oil Mill in the town of Ácula, Granada.

O-MED is characterized by the excellence and thoughtful design of its products. The bottle's image resembles an olive grove on three distinct sides, creating a beautiful illustration when three bottles are placed together.

This is our introductory suggestion to our beloved world of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It's composed of three varieties from three different producers, ranging in potency and delicacy from least to greatest:

• Arbequina from Andrés Aguilar : This is a smooth and delicate oil, with green aromas of banana and fruit puree. It's a smooth, delicate, sweet oil; it's not particularly spicy and is perfect for those unfamiliar with strong flavors.
• Jabalcuz Gran Selección : One of the most award-winning oils of 2025. It has won both the Jaén Selección and the Mario Solinas awards. Produced by the Sierra de la Pandera cooperative, it displays the typical characteristics of a Picual, with fresh notes reminiscent of olive leaves, tomatoes, and figs. It also has a characteristic bitterness and spiciness.
• Hojiblanca de Oro Bailén : This early-harvest Hojiblanca is smoother and more balanced than the Picual. It has a curious characteristic: an initial sweetness that gives way to a slight bitterness and a spicy chili pepper on the tongue. It is very aromatic, with notes reminiscent of grass, artichoke, apple, and aromatic plants.

And as usual, we'll give you the sensory stars for your oils free of charge so you can enjoy the full tasting experience.

When growers began uprooting centuries-old Royal de Cazorla olive trees in Jaén due to low yields and difficult harvesting—replacing them with more productive, mechanisable varieties—some pioneering brands started crafting premium Royal extra virgin olive oils to bring their fantastic sensory profile to consumers.

Among them is Aceites Elizondo, which combines the Royal flavour with its iconic, high-perfumery-inspired bottle design to create a unique product cherished by gourmet consumers.

Elegant and unique, Elizondo Royal is made from Royal de Cazorla olives, a variety exclusive to Jaén. This premium oil captivates with delicacy and offers a singular gastronomic experience—visual, thanks to its outstanding packaging; tactile, through the premium bottle and case; and organoleptic, with one of our favourite profiles from Cazorla’s Royal.

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.

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.

With a Mediterranean spirit, Molisabor Frantoio comes from Frantoio olives grown in the lands of Jaén. Its aromatic profile and balance make it a versatile oil, ideal for enhancing everyday dishes with an elegant touch.

Variety originating from the Italian Tuscany.

This EVOO is obtained from the Llanos de Ochoa Estate in the municipality of Baeza, owned by the Jaén Olive Oil Mill.

A few years ago, olive trees of the Royal variety were on the verge of disappearing. This is a minor, native variety from the Sierra de Cazorla (Jaén) that presents two challenges: the fruit does not detach easily until it is very ripe, and yields are lower than other varieties. In addition, many trees are centuries old, making mechanised harvesting impossible.

Some bold brands began producing early-harvest, high-end oil from this olive, and today it has become a treasure for the most discerning palates. Aceite Supremo is one of the houses that has championed this rare mountain variety, producing this certified organic, single-varietal extra virgin olive oil.

Supremo Royal de Cazorla (a native and rare variety from Jaén—especially present in the Sierra de Cazorla) stands out for its exclusivity and elegant profile.

Made from olives carefully selected at their optimal ripeness and cold-milled within hours of harvesting, this EVOO offers a distinctive, aromatic flavour with a subtle, balanced expression that elevates everyday cooking without masking ingredients.

If you’re looking for a Royal EVOO with a clear identity and Andalusian origin, this bottling captures the essence of a little-known variety—perfect for those who value extra virgin olive oils with finesse and character.

I can only say one thing about Andrés Aguilar: gratitude. He was the first oil mill I spoke to when we started this project, and he made himself available to us for anything we needed, without any strings attached.

It's no surprise that it was part of our first Starter Pack, because in addition to great people, they have excellent products. We know this firsthand because during the production period, Andrés Aguilar was our second home.

This isn't an oil you can find just anywhere. In fact, as far as I know, you can only find it in three places: at their Almazara, at Paraíso Virgen Extra in Jaén, and here at Molino y Cata.

If you decide to visit them, they're located next to the Linares south exit off the A-32 highway. Tell them you're coming from us.
