The New Verde Esmeralda Harvest: An Olive Oil of Exceptional Quality

Olive oil is much more than just an ingredient in the kitchen; it is a central element of Mediterranean culture and a symbol of health and well-being. Within this vast world, the Verde Esmeralda brand has established itself as a benchmark in the production of extremely high-quality extra virgin olive oil, and this year its new harvest promises to continue impressing.

The Harvest Process: Quality from the Source

The key to Verde Esmeralda's success lies in its careful harvesting and production process. Each year, the company ensures that the best olives are picked at their optimal ripeness, resulting in a product balanced in flavor, aroma, and texture.

The government has announced a new economic measure to combat inflation: the reduction of VAT on olive oil to 0%. This initiative aims to ease the tax burden on consumers and support the olive oil industry, which has been heavily affected by market fluctuations and high production costs.

The President of the Jaén Provincial Council, Francisco Reyes, has announced the eight extra virgin olive oils that will carry the "Jaén Selección" distinction in 2024. Five cooperatives and three mills from seven municipalities in Jaén have been recognized with this quality seal. The selected brands include Oro Bailén, Olibaeza, Puerta de las Villas, Esencial Olive, Puerta del Parque, Tierras de Canena, Jabalcuz Premium, and Melgarejo. These outstanding oils will participate in various national and international promotional activities throughout the coming year, representing the excellence of Jaén olive oil.
