Why Spanish Olive Oil Continues to Lead the World in Quality
Celebrating Excellence in Spanish Olive Oil
We are delighted to announce that our partner Oro Bailén Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil, based in Andalusia, Spain, has been honoured with the prestigious Flos Olei 2021 award for Best Quality/Quantity Extra Virgin Olive Oil in the World. This recognition reflects not only the craftsmanship of Oro Bailén but also highlights the global reputation of Spanish olive oil, consistently noted for its quality, rich flavour profiles and traditional production heritage.
As the world’s largest producer of olive oil, Spain offers extraordinary variety in olive cultivars, terroir and production methods. Spanish olive oil, especially from Andalusia, is celebrated for its fresh character, herbal and fruity notes, and high polyphenol content, making it both delicious and health-supporting.
Who is Oro Bailén?
Oro Bailén (Aceites Oro Bailén Galgón 99 S.L.U.) is a family-run producer based in Villanueva de la Reina, Jaén, in the heart of Andalusia. They cultivate their own groves and control every stage from the field to the mill, pressing olives within about two hours of harvest to preserve freshness and polyphenols. Internationally recognised as one of the world’s most awarded extra virgin olive oil producers, Oro Bailén has received top scores in guides such as Flos Olei and Evooleum, as well as numerous gold medals in global competitions
The Significance of the Flos Olei Award
The Flos Olei guide is widely recognised as one of the most influential international rankings for olive oils. With a strict tasting methodology and assessments of aroma, taste, texture and consistency, earning a top score is a mark of exceptional quality. Oro Bailén’s Picual stands out for its green fruity aromas, herbal tones and peppery finish—characteristics that demonstrate its status as top-tier Spanish olive oil.
