Cortijo de Suerte Alta - Picual extra virgin olive oil 500ml, organic

An award-winning organic olive oil with character

Cortijo de Suerte Alta Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a premium organic olive oil from the prestigious D.O.P. Baena region in Andalusia, Spain. This Spanish family business, founded in 1924 enjoys worldwide recognition.

This oil, is produced exclusively from the Picual olive, one of the most prized olive varieties in Spain, known for its robust flavor and exceptional stability. The olives come from the youngest olive groves on the estate, where the trees are between 10 and 40 years old, contributing to the unique flavor and strength of this oil.

The oil has already received many international awards, including gold medals at Biol, Ecotrama and TerraOlivo. Thanks to its high concentration of polyphenols, this oil is known for its deep, rich flavor.

A sustainable heritage of 255 hectares

The Cortijo de Suerte Alta estate covers 255 hectares and is managed using a 100% organic and sustainable farming method. A closed production chain is used here, meaning that every step - from cultivation to pressing - is completely in-house. This guarantees an olive oil that is completely free of pesticides and chemicals, with an absolute guarantee of organic purity.

The harvest: precision and care

Harvesting begins in mid-October, when the Picual olives reach their optimal maturity. All olives are harvested exclusively from the trees using advanced agricultural machinery. These carefully pick the olives and drop them onto special cloths or a vibrating collection umbrella. Thanks to this method, both the tree and the fruit remain undamaged.

Harvesting takes place in stages, depending on the maturity of each plot, and ends in December. Olives that fall to the ground are collected separately in January, processed and not mixed with the premium first pressing.

From tree to bottle: a controlled production process

Every step in production is focused on ensuring the highest quality:

• Customized soil analysis and irrigation: Soil nutrients and moisture balance are constantly monitored, without chemical fertilization.
• Mechanical harvesting with minimal impact: Efficient and tree-friendly picking method that preserves the quality of the olives.
• Own mill and rapid pressing: The olives are cold pressed within hours of harvest, preventing oxidation and preserving the oil's maximum flavor and nutritional value.

Thanks to this sustainable and closed process, an olive oil of exceptional purity can be guaranteed, without any contamination.
