Mercedes' expert opinion
Four oils from a family mill at the foot of Sierra Nevada, between 1,000 and 1,300 metres of altitude. Picual, Arbequina, Blend, and Lemon — each with the personality that the altitude of Dilar imprints on it. We designed it as a home tasting to discover what the mountains do to olive oil.

All about Case of four Quaryat Dillar varieties
Quaryat Dillar is a family olive oil mill in Dilar, at the foot of Sierra Nevada, founded in 2009 by the Velasco family. Their estate, Las Animas, has 130 hectares of olive groves between 1,000 and 1,300 metres of altitude. This gift set brings together their four oils — Picual, Arbequina, Blend, and Lemon — in cardboard and sugarcane packaging.
The Quaryat Picual received the second Mario Solinas Prize from the International Olive Council in 2024, the only oil from Granada among the winners. It has also won gold at the Dubai International Olive Oil Competition and was named Best Oil in Spain at the EVO IOOC in Italy in 2021. Four oils from Sierra Nevada, 30 minutes from our oleoteca, from a mill with Integrated Production certification and the Sierra Nevada Natural Park Product seal.
Why it's in Molino & Cata
