100% extra virgin olive oil, Arbequina and Picual
It is not surprising that, in a short time, Torre de Canena has become one of the most preferred olive oil brands by consumers. Both Arbequina and Picual come from olives harvested in November, so the intensity, aroma and flavour are at that midpoint that olive oil lovers like so much.
"An excellent oil, balanced and carefully processed from its origin."
The Arbequina wine enters the mouth smoothly, sweet, light and fluid with hints of green almond, ripe banana and red apple.
Picual stands out for being a balanced and persistent oil on the palate, with notes of fresh grass and artichoke. It is a perfect example of the fresh and fragrant personality of the Picual variety.
An EVOO that has been excellently well crafted from the source, where everything begins: in the olive groves of the Alto Guadalquivir valley, in the unique natural environment of Sierra Mágina, Sierra Cazorla and the Cazorla Natural Park.
Paco Vañó. Co-owner of Torre de Canena:
In order to obtain the Torre de Canena EVOOs, the best plots of the estate are selected. After a continuous monitoring of the vegetative and phenological state of the olive trees, the pruning systems, their nutrition and adequate water supply are monitored, and the pests that could damage them are biologically controlled. From the moment the flowering occurs in May, the fruit setting and the correct growth of the small olives are inspected, measuring sizes and analyzing the loads of fruit that exist in each plot of the olive grove looking for average harvests. The harvest takes place in November when the veraison is halfway through, and many fruits still exhibit greenish, yellowish and purple chromatisms. After months of monitoring the olives in the field, the olives are collected by mechanical procedures and are transported in a few hours to the oil mill in small boxes and refrigerated trucks. In the mill, the olives are ground using the most advanced technology and following strict quality protocols to produce EVOOs with fresh notes but also with hints of riper fruit, pleasant, velvety, round, balanced, slightly spicy juices and a very discreet level of bitterness. The name Torre de Canena comes from the family castle located on a hill in the municipality of Canena (Jaén). The olive groves are located in the Alto Guadalquivir valley, between the mountain ranges of Cazorla and Mágina. Torre de Canena is a family business with a long history in the world of extra virgin olive oil production.
