Why this olive oil is special
Morellana is an organic Extra Virgin olive oil made entirely from Picuda, a characteristic olive variety from Córdoba. The olives are harvested early, while still green and rich in fresh aromas. The result is a fruity and complex olive oil that feels noticeably softer and more approachable than some of Andalusia’s more powerful top oils.
That balance is exactly what makes Morellana so distinctive. In our Olive Oil Guide it scores 8 for both fruitiness and complexity, but only 4 for bitterness and 3 for pepperiness. It therefore combines genuine premium quality with a remarkably accessible flavour. The oil is organically certified and produced in limited quantities. For lovers of elegant, green olive oils, it is an excellent choice.
Morellana is produced by Sucesores de Hermanos López S.A. in Luque, in the province of Córdoba. The producer has more than a century of experience in olive oil production. For Morellana Picuda, specially selected olives from the Sierras Subbéticas area are used. Harvesting begins early in the season and production is deliberately limited. The focus is not on volume, but on creating an organic Extra Virgin olive oil with freshness, character and finesse.
