Oro de Cánava Olive Oil, 100% Picual selection. Originating from Sierra Mágina, Jaén.
Awarded for two consecutive years, 2012 and 2013, with four prestigious prizes recognizing its organoleptic qualities.
The qualities that earned these distinctions are: “Intense fruity aroma of green olives, great complexity with green and nutty notes: mint, tomato leaf, and banana peel, with ripe touches of almond and apple. Transparent, fragrant taste with perfect balance between light bitterness and progressive pungency. Very structured and persistent.”
Production:
The process begins in the olive groves, separating olives from the tree from those fallen on the ground, ensuring the selection of the best fruit from the start to produce one of the finest Picual olive oils.
The olives are milled at the mill located in the Sierra Mágina region, in the northeast of Jaén province, declared a Natural Park. The groves here feature large, leafy trees. Some olives grow at altitudes exceeding 1,000 meters, so most are considered mountain olives, benefiting from a unique microclimate.
Harvest begins when the olives reach their optimal ripeness, usually in November. Olives are collected directly from the tree (never mixed with fallen fruit) and transported to the mill, where they undergo strict cleaning. Then, they are washed with clean water from the Cánava spring. Milling is carried out using a hammer mill to break the cells containing the oil, and the resulting paste is transferred to the mixer to obtain a compact, homogeneous mass.
This paste undergoes a special two-phase centrifugation to separate the oil from the rest of the components. The extracted oil, at a maximum temperature of 22°C, is washed to remove any impurities. After this step, the oil is transferred to the storage tanks.
In the storage cellar, it rests to reach the optimal maturity. The stable cellar temperature helps this oil become one of the finest natural products for the table, straight from the heart of Sierra Mágina.
Maximum acidity: 0.2%
