The Quaryat Blend is born on the same Las Animas estate in Dilar, between 1,000 and 1,300 metres of altitude at the foot of Sierra Nevada. The Velasco family blends three varieties here — Picual, Hojiblanca, and Picudo — all cultivated in their own groves. All three are harvested green and processed together on the same day at the estate's mill.

Each variety is harvested at its optimal moment of ripeness. Picual provides structure and stability, Hojiblanca adds sweetness and smoothness, and Picudo contributes a floral character that rounds out the whole. The assemblage is made seeking balance, not volume. The mill holds Integrated Production certification and the Sierra Nevada Natural Park Product seal.

An altitude blend from one of the most promising mills in Granada. Quaryat has won the second Mario Solinas Prize from the International Olive Council with its Picual and has accumulated recognition at the Dubai International Olive Oil Competition and the EVO IOOC in Italy. The Blend is the most versatile expression of that same estate and that same rigour.
