Oro Bailen Organic Picual is the flagship premium organic extra virgin olive oil from Oro Bailen, one of the world’s most awarded olive oil producers. This new 2024/2025 harvest single-estate olive oil is crafted in Jaén, Andalusia, under the leadership of José Gálvez, who continues his family’s legacy of excellence. Scoring an outstanding 99 points in Flos Olei, the international olive oil guide, Oro Bailen is recognised globally for quality and innovation.
Exceptional Quality & Production
This ultra-low-acidity organic extra virgin olive oil (<0.15%) is produced during the first two weeks of harvest in October, at the peak of fruit freshness. The olives are cold-extracted within 2 hours of picking to preserve nutrients, flavour and sensory quality. Filtration ensures stability throughout its shelf life, and with a powerful polyphenol level of around 375 mg/kg, it offers strong antioxidant benefits and exceptional structure.
