The story of Nobleza del Sur
Nobleza del Sur is a historic, family-run olive oil estate in Jaén, Spain, whose roots date back to 1640. Founded by Miguel Sánchez Sagra, the estate remains in the hands of his descendants, the Peñuelas‑Sagra family, who continue to cultivate their ancestral groves and oversee every stage of production. For twelve generations, their unwavering dedication has ensured oils of exceptional quality and authentic character.
A unique terroir and careful cultivation
Situated in the heart of Andalusia, the estate’s olive groves flourish in a distinctive continental Mediterranean climate, enriched by the Guadalimar River. This unique environment gives rise to oils of remarkable personality — from the vividly green, intensely fruity Centenarium Premium, pressed from century-old Picual trees, to the refined Juve Premium, a harmonious blend of Arbequina and Picual olives.
Superior quality, high polyphenol content, and global acclaim
Nobleza del Sur stands apart for producing extra virgin olive oils with superior quality and notably high polyphenol content, delivering both outstanding flavour and exceptional health benefits. Their olives are harvested at the perfect moment and cold pressed within four hours, preserving a bright, fresh aroma and naturally low acidity of around 0.2%. This careful process captures potent antioxidants and creates oils celebrated for their complexity, structure, and longevity.
These extraordinary standards have been recognised worldwide. Most notably, Nobleza del Sur has achieved an outstanding 99-point rating in the Flos Olei Guide 2025, placing them among the very finest olive oil producers globally.
Committed to sustainability
Environmental stewardship is integral to Nobleza del Sur’s philosophy. Their estate operates on renewable energy, integrates advanced water recycling, and embraces eco-conscious farming practices, ensuring that every bottle reflects not only exquisite taste but also a profound respect for the land.
A choice for gourmet kitchens worldwide
