Exceptional Quality from Early-Harvest Olives
Oro Bailén Arbequina is a single-estate, single-variety olive oil produced near Jaén in Andalusia, a region internationally recognised for excellence in olive cultivation. Harvested during the first weeks of the season in October, the olives are milled immediately on-site and cold-extracted within two hours to preserve freshness, nutritional properties and aromatic complexity. The oil is then carefully filtered to ensure stability and optimal sensory performance throughout its shelf life.
The result is a beautifully balanced oil with mild to medium fruitiness, fresh green aromas and a gentle peppery finish. Its versatility makes it ideal for salads, grilled fish, chicken, steamed vegetables and everyday dressing, where its delicate complexity enhances rather than overwhelms ingredients.
Award-Winning Excellence & Global Recognition
Frequently named among the best olive oils in Spain and worldwide, Oro Bailén Arbequina has earned Great Taste Awards every year from 2017 to 2022, along with numerous top international accolades. Early-harvest production requires significantly more olives to produce each litre of oil, resulting in lower yield but significantly higher quality, concentration and antioxidant value. This meticulous approach explains its distinctive fruitiness and long-lasting clean finish.
Oro Bailén’s continued global success is supported by a strong record across international tasting competitions and respected culinary publications.
