Finca Badenes is a family estate of 200 hectares in Jabalquinto, Jaen. Grandfather Matias bought it in 1965. Today the family cultivates four varieties — Picual, Frantoio, Arbequina, and Empeltre — with the mill and bottling plant at the heart of the property. The entire process happens within the estate.

This blend combines the four varieties growing on those 200 hectares. It is not a blend of convenience — it is an assemblage designed with what the land provides. Frantoio, an Italian variety rarely found in Jaen, is what makes this blend different: it adds a layer of complexity that a blend using only local varieties would not achieve.

The Finca Badenes blend received a mention in the Best Tank category at the Expoliva Quality Awards. Proof that more than Picual is grown in Jaen, and that a family controlling the entire process — from tree to assemblage — can create an oil with a personality you will not find on any other estate.
