Tasting notes
This coupage is crafted from Frantoio, Picual and Arbequina. A combination of three very different varieties that lend it remarkably intriguing nuances. The Arbequina contributes fruity notes and smoothness on the palate. The Frantoio, a variety originating in Tuscany, brings bitter almond and freshly cut grass, along with a cayenne-style peppery kick. Finally, the Picual adds vegetal touches and a hint of bitterness.
Pairing
Ideal for finishing creams and dishes where you want aroma and a chili-like peppery note. Pairs beautifully with grilled vegetables and fatty fish such as salmon or tuna.
Mercedes' expert opinion
This coupage combines three of the four varieties grown on the estate -- Frantoio, Picual and Arbequina -- each contributing very different nuances. Blending different varieties is truly an art: you need just the right proportion of each so they all express themselves equally. This coupage is a fine example of the art of combining varieties.

All about Finca Badenes Coupage
Finca Badenes is a family estate of 200 hectares in Jabalquinto, Jaen. Grandfather Matias bought the farm in 1965. Today the family cultivates four varieties -- Picual, Frantoio, Arbequina and Empeltre -- with the almazara (olive oil mill) and bottling facility in the heart of the property. The entire process happens within the estate.
This coupage brings together three of the four varieties grown on the farm. It is not a blend of convenience -- it is an assemblage designed with purpose. The Frantoio, an Italian variety rarely seen in Jaen, is what sets this blend apart: it adds a layer of complexity that a coupage made only with local varieties could never achieve.
Why it's in Molino & Cata
Three varieties from a single estate, including Frantoio, which is a rarity in Jaen. We carry it because that composition creates a balanced oil that works for everything, and because we love that our customers discover that there is more than Picual growing in Jaen.
