a) Our Flagship Extra Virgin Olive Oil
This Picual extra virgin olive oil from San Benito is produced exclusively from olives grown on our own family estate. As our most emblematic and promoted product, it reflects our passion for quality and tradition. Complete traceability allows us to monitor every step—from the grove to your table—ensuring a product of outstanding purity and flavor.
b) Dry-Farmed Olive Trees
This oil is sourced from dry-farmed olive groves, resulting in a more intense and authentic flavor. It is carefully selected from the best batches we mill throughout the season.
c) Easy-Pour Packaging System
One side of the box can be slightly opened to access the built-in tap. Simply remove the cardboard panel, pull out the tap, and fix it in place using the slots on the box. Then, remove the small safety strip from the tap.
To pour: press the center button with one finger while simultaneously lifting the two side tabs with your other fingers.
Once you’ve done it the first time, you’ll find this packaging extremely convenient and user-friendly.

b) Additional information
The extra virgin olive oil is losing qualities with light, temperature and oxygen, so we must consume the bottle once purchased and consume it once opened. It should be kept in a cool place and out of a light bulb.
The container of bag in box is the one that better conserves the extra virgin olive oil, better even than the glass and the tin.
More information about extra virgin olive oils from Jaén and Andalusia can be found on the website of the Junta de Andalucía.
