AOVE essence of the south is an extra virgin olive oil of the Picual variety, known for its intense flavor and throat-piercing spiciness. Produced by the Oleocampo cooperative, this oil is made exclusively from olives using mechanical methods. With a harvest from 2025/2026, its quality is guaranteed and is produced in the Torredelcampo and Torredonjimeno regions of Jaén, where many centuries-old olive groves comprise an impressive cultivation area. This oil is perfect for medium to long cooking times, excelling in frying, sautéing, and traditional stews, enhancing the flavor of other ingredients. It has an energy value of 3700 kJ / 900 kcal per 100 g, with a composition of 100 g of fats, of which 14 g are saturated. For storage, it should be kept away from direct light and stored in a cool, dry place, ideally between 16 and 18ºC. This oil is not only an essential ingredient in the kitchen but also a treasure of Andalusian cuisine.
