Oro Bailen Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Spanish Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Oro Bailén Picual 2024/2025 Harvest

Spanish extra virgin olive oil is globally admired for its exceptional flavour, quality, and craftsmanship. Among the finest examples is Oro Bailén Picual, a multi-award-winning premium olive oil produced in Jaén, Andalusia — the olive-growing heart of Spain. Recognised internationally for excellence, Oro Bailén is led by José Gálvez, whose family estate has become one of the most respected olive oil producers in the world. The Picual variety represents the estate’s signature expression, consistently ranked among the best extra virgin olive oils by leading competitions and global judges.

About Oro Bailén Picual

Oro Bailén Picual has achieved numerous international awards including 99 points in the Flos Olei 2024 International Olive Oil Guide, Best Extra Virgin Olive Oil in the World by Evooleum 2022, and repeat recognition at global competitions such as New York, London, Los Angeles and Olive Japan. Its outstanding sensory profile and technical quality set it apart from standard supermarket oils.

This olive oil is produced at the beginning of the harvest, usually in early October. The olives are cold-extracted within just two hours of picking to preserve freshness, flavours, nutritional properties, and polyphenols. The 2024/2025 harvest displays ultra-low acidity of 0.1% and a polyphenol level of approximately 324 mg/kg, contributing to its antioxidant strength and long shelf life.

Tasting Profile & Food Pairings

Oro Bailén Picual offers an elegant balance of herbal and fruity aromas — notes of fresh tomato, green grass, green almond and apple. The flavour is smooth and buttery at first, evolving into a vibrant peppery finish. Judges from the Great Taste Awards described it as:

“Beautiful fragrance of green grass and fresh tomatoes… delightful silky texture and a big kick of pepper on the finish.”
