Lordship of Camarasa

Origen: Torres - Jaén

Julio López, Joaquín Fernández, Martín Jiménez, Rafael Moreno… and so on, up to 634 small farmers from Torres, a small village in the Sierra Mágina, in the olive-growing heart of the province of Jaén. In 1971, they joined a cooperative with a common goal: to create a Picual they could be proud of because it reflected the quality of our mountain olive trees—which gives the oil a fresh flavor that plain trees lack.

Thus was born Señorío de Camarasa, a gourmet and traditional oil, with a price adapted to everyone's needs.

An extra-virgin Picual: According to studies by Citoliva, the Picual olive variety is the one with the highest antioxidant content. As a result, the oil extracted from these olives has more antioxidant properties—protective for the heart and arteries, and prevents high cholesterol. Furthermore, this type of oil preserves its qualities much better than those made from any other olive variety.

From ancient olive trees: Do you know the Sierra Mágina region? It's a protected Natural Park, where the mountains and diverse wildlife take center stage. This is where the olives that make Señorío de Camarasa olive oil grow; ancient trees in which we farmers find excellence.

Harvested with care: The olive groves that produce our oil grow, most often on slopes, cliffs, and hillsides. This quality of mountain olive groves, which makes harvesting much more difficult, is evident in their flavor nuances, which are milder and fruitier than those of plain olive groves. Ninety-seven percent of the Santa Isabel cooperative members, those who make Señorío de Camarasa , are small farmers who have been dedicated to their care for generations.

The result? A green oil, full of antioxidants and vitamins, with a unique flavor that turns every salad, every toast, and the simplest steak into a great experience for the palate, while helping to maintain a healthy diet.
