Elogio is the story of three generations in the Sierra de Cazorla — from grandfather Manuel to the grandchildren who have made the leap to premium production. The olive trees are in the Paraje de las Hoyas, within the protected natural area, and that privileged location translates into an oil with the aromatic intensity that only the sierra can give. One of those family projects that reminds us that generational succession in the countryside can be an opportunity.
Know every detail

Elogio is the echo of three generations of an olive-farming family in the Sierra de Cazorla. Grandfather Manuel laid the foundations, his son Celedonio kept the faith, and his grandchildren — Celedonio and Angel Noguera Martinez — have made the leap to premium production. The olive trees are in the Paraje de las Hoyas, within the protected natural area of the Sierra de Cazorla, the largest protected area in Spain.
High-mountain olive growing. That is not an adjective: it is a fact that defines the oil. At that altitude ripening is slower, polyphenols accumulate, and aromas intensify. Elogio is produced as an early harvest in the first days of October and has a high polyphenol content.
The profile is highland Picual: intense fruitiness, with notes of fig tree, olive leaf, green almond, tomato plant, and artichoke. Bitterness and pungency with presence but well harmonised. An oil guaranteed by the DOP Sierra de Cazorla — a designation of origin that demands specific quality standards.
Three generations in the Sierra de Cazorla, high-mountain olive groves, DOP. We selected it because we love the story behind it: a grandfather who planted the trees, a son who maintained them, and grandchildren who are making an oil that honours both. That shows in every bottle.

Extra virgin olive oil is a fresh product. Its quality depends on proper storage and consuming it within its optimal date. If an online shop does not tell you which lot it will ship or when it expires, you have no way of knowing if what you receive is from this harvest or two years ago.
Be wary of shops that do not publish this information. We show it because we believe you have the right to know exactly what you are buying.

Una Denominación de Origen Protegida que certifica que el aceite viene de la comarca de Cazorla y cumple unos estándares de calidad específicos. No es un sello decorativo: implica controles reales.
Porque los olivares están en el Paraje de las Hoyas, a altitud considerable dentro de la Sierra de Cazorla. La altitud afecta directamente la maduración de la aceituna y el perfil del aceite.
Picual de sierra: higuera, hoja de olivo, almendra verde, tomatera, alcachofa. Amargo y picante presentes pero equilibrados. Frutado intenso.
