Oro Bailén Picual Can 500ml

Oro Bailén extra virgin olive oil. 100% picual. Box of 12 500 ml cans. 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:

Bright, luminous green color, with intense fruitiness of fresh olives, and great complexity of herbaceous and fruity aromas, highlighting green banana, almond, and green tomato.

On the palate, it's full-bodied and well-structured, highly expressive, sweet, and slightly spicy. It's a balanced and elegant oil both on the nose and in the mouth. It has an almondy aftertaste.
