Oro Bailén Cristal BIO Picual - Nr. 2 World's Best Olive Oils

What makes Oro Bailén Organic Picual so special

Oro Bailén Organic Picual combines the distinctive character of the Picual olive with organic cultivation and the precision for which producer Oro Bailén is internationally renowned. The oil is made in the province of Jaén, the heart of Spanish olive oil production, and is intended for those who appreciate a powerful yet refined extra virgin olive oil.

The Picual olives are harvested early, while the fruit is still green and the oil yield is relatively low. At this stage, however, the olives can develop a remarkably fresh, green and aromatic profile. Oro Bailén controls the entire process from olive grove to bottling, allowing harvest timing, processing and quality to be managed with great precision. The result is an organic Picual with strength, but above all with impressive balance and finesse.

Oro Bailén – Bailén, Jaén

Oro Bailén is run by the Gálvez-González family. Based in Bailén in the province of Jaén, the family produces premium extra virgin olive oils from its own olive groves. They control the complete process, from cultivation and harvesting to extraction and bottling. This gives them close control over freshness and traceability and is an important part of the consistent quality for which Oro Bailén is known.

The power of Jaén, with remarkable refinement

Picual is known for its green character and its natural combination of fruitiness, bitterness and pepperiness. Typical aromas include freshly cut grass, tomato leaf, green almond and artichoke. In this organic Oro Bailén, these fresh green notes are clearly present, while bitterness and pungency remain beautifully balanced. This gives the oil plenty of character without making it heavy or aggressive.

Organic, without compromising on flavour

This Oro Bailén is 100% certified organic. What makes it particularly interesting is the way organic cultivation is combined with a very high gastronomic standard. It is therefore not simply a choice for organic farming, but also an olive oil that clearly belongs in the premium category in terms of intensity, complexity and balance.

An organic Picual with an international reputation

Oro Bailén Organic Picual has received numerous international awards over the years. It has achieved high ratings in publications such as the Iberoleum Guide and is one of Oro Bailén's internationally recognised premium oils. For the current harvest, our product page also lists it as number 2 in World's Best Olive Oils.
