Extra virgin olive oil from Picual variety from Torre de Canena. Produced in Canena (Jaén).
In order to obtain the extra virgin olive oils from Torre de Canena, the best plots of the estate are selected. After continuous monitoring of the vegetative and phenological state of the olive trees, pruning systems, nutrition, and proper water supply are observed, and pests that could damage them are biologically controlled. Since flowering occurs in May, the setting of the fruits and the correct growth of the small olives are inspected, measuring sizes and analyzing the fruit loads in each olive grove plot to achieve medium harvests.
The harvest takes place in November when the veraison is midway, and many fruits still exhibit greenish, yellowish, and purplish colors. After months of monitoring the olives in the field, the olives are harvested using mechanical procedures and transported to the mill within a few hours in small boxes and refrigerated trucks. In the mill, they are crushed using the most advanced technology, and following strict quality protocols, to produce extra virgin olive oils with fresh notes, but also with touches of more mature fruits, gentle juices, velvety, round, balanced, slightly spicy, and with a very discreet level of bitterness.
The name Torre de Canena comes from the family castle located on a hill in the municipality of Canena (Jaén). The olive groves are located in the Upper Guadalquivir valley, between the mountain ranges of Cazorla and Mágina.
