A Protected Designation of Origin that guarantees the oil was produced exclusively from olives grown in the municipalities of Carcabuey, Priego de Córdoba, Fuente Tojár and Almedinilla (Córdoba). Only the Picuda, Hojiblanca and Picual varieties are permitted, and the entire production process must meet strict quality standards. It is not a decorative label — it is a guarantee backed by real controls.

Yes. Rincón de la Subbética has accumulated over 720 international awards since 2004 and has been recognised as Best EVOO in the World in multiple editions of the leading rankings (WREVOO, EVOO World Ranking, World Cup 48 Kilates). No other olive oil in history has a comparable record.

Because the cooperative decided to produce its flagship oil without pesticides, herbicides or synthetic fertilisers. Organic certification involves annual inspections of soils, water and fruit. The olive groves are within the Sierras Subbéticas Natural Park, a protected environment where organic production is consistent with landscape conservation.

100% Hojiblanca. It is a single-variety oil, not a blend. Hojiblanca is a variety native to central Andalusia that produces complex oils with intense green character and a balance of bitterness, pungency and sweetness that few varieties can match.

They are two very different oils from the same cooperative. Rincón de la Subbética is an organic single-variety Hojiblanca — more intense, greener, more complex. Parqueoliva Serie Oro is a blend of Hojiblanca and Picuda — more balanced, milder, more versatile. Both carry the DOP Priego de Córdoba.
