Villacarrillo lies in the Las Villas district, between the Sierra de Cazorla and the upper Guadalquivir. Axioma works there with Picual olives in two lines: early harvest and optimal ripeness harvest. What they share: the olives are milled the same day and extraction is cold.

This is a clean, straightforward Picual from Jaen. The aromatic profile follows the classic line of the variety: fresh-cut grass, green almond, artichoke and green banana. It is an oil with well-defined fruitiness and a balance between bitter and pungent that makes it versatile both raw and for cooking.

Axioma is not a brand with twenty awards on the shelf, but it is exactly the kind of producer we like to have at Molino y Cata: a village mill with modern facilities, controlled production and an oil that delivers without artifice. Sometimes the best thing is just that: honest oil, well made, from a land that has been making it for centuries.
