Everything behind the numbers — the varietal, the estate, the milling, and how to taste it.
Pago de Penarrubia was born in 2014 when two families of agricultural engineers with five generations in the olive business decided to do things differently. They bought an estate in Hellin, Albacete, at the foot of the Sierra de Segura, converted it to organic in 2019, and built their own mill on the property. From tree to mill in less than 3 hours.
Organic here is not just a label: they keep geese to control weeds, produce their own organic compost, and grow truffles among the olive trees. It is an estate where everything is designed for the ecosystem to function without chemicals. EU organic certification. Cold extraction, separating varieties and cultivation zones. Each batch is traceable to the individual plot.
Third Mario Solinas Prize 2025 from the International Olive Council, Green Light category. Gold at Ecotrama and NYIOOC. Listed in the Flos Olei guide and the World's Best Olive Oils. An organic altitude Picual that is beginning to compete with the major estates in the sector.
This Picual comes from an estate where they raise geese to control weeds and produce their own compost. An estate where time stands still and a passion for EVOO is born. It is a Picual that surprises, with contained bitterness and peppery notes, from Albacete -- not a typical territory for this variety, which gives it a character all its own.
