Royal Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Royal extra virgin olive oil is one of the most exclusive and unique varieties from Andalusia. Native and mainly grown in Cazorla, Quesada, and La Iruela in the province of Jaén, this indigenous variety has been recovered after decades of near disappearance thanks to the efforts of producers committed to the biodiversity of traditional olive groves.

Main Characteristics of Royal

The Royal olive tree has medium vigor and an open growth habit, well adapted to mountainous and dry conditions. Its fruit is medium-sized and early-ripening, with a medium oil yield. Although less productive than other more widespread varieties, its cultivation produces an oil of extraordinary quality and great organoleptic value, highly appreciated for its rarity and elegance.

Sensory Profile of Royal Oil

Royal EVOO is characterized by a medium green fruitiness, with delicate and fresh aromas reminiscent of banana, green almond, apple, fig, and tomato. On the palate, it is very smooth, sweet at the start, with almost no bitterness and a light, balanced spiciness. It is a harmonious and approachable oil, ideal for those seeking a delicate and sophisticated sensory experience.

Recommended Culinary Uses

Thanks to its smoothness and aromatic profile, Royal oil is ideal for using raw: salads, white fish, carpaccios, steamed vegetables, pastries, or even for children and people who prefer milder oils. It is also perfect for pairing with gentle dishes and enhancing flavors without overpowering them.

Global Presence and Production

The Royal variety represents and is cultivated almost exclusively in the Sierra de Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas Natural Park area. It is one of the few varieties recognized with the Protected Geographical Indication "Sierra de Cazorla". Its production is limited and highly valued in gourmet markets and by consumers seeking unique oils.less
