Oro Bailen Arbequina 500 ml

Oro Bailén extra virgin olive oil. 100% Arbequina. From Villanueva de la Reina, Jaén.

At an altitude of 400 meters, in the foothills of the Sierra Morena, lies Villanueva de la Reina, in Jaén. Since the 19th century, Oro Bailén has been producing its fruity and subtle olive oils.

Harvesting is semi-manual, as the olives are felled using specific machinery that vibrates the trunk to release the fruit faster and in greater quantities. This is aided by manual beating. This is followed by a large workforce collecting the olives in bales and then loading them onto trailers that will quickly transport them to the oil mill.

The oil is left to settle naturally for 15 days, after which it is filtered completely. It is stored in nitrogen-inert tanks at a controlled temperature of 18-20 degrees Celsius in the same winery, ready for immediate bottling, remaining unchanged throughout the year.

Tasting:

Exquisite Arbequina olive oil that blends the delicate aromas of this variety with the strength and character of the southern lands.

A medium fruitiness of fresh olives, with green aromas of herbs and green wheat interspersed with the characteristic fruity notes of the Arbequina olive tree; almond, apple, and ripe banana stand out. The palate is progressive, with a smooth and delicate entry, a very light bitterness afterward, and a slightly more noticeable spiciness. It is harmonious, and the aftertaste is almond-like.
