What you can expect

Discover the beating heart of Jaén's “green gold” with an exclusive guided tour inside our authentic olive oil mill (almazara). This experience takes you behind the scenes of olive oil production, allowing you to uncover the craftsmanship, passion, and modern technology required to create premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO).

You will follow the fascinating journey of the olive, from its arrival at the mill to its final transformation. See the crucial stages of production firsthand—from washing and crushing to the delicate cold extraction process, which is fundamental to preserving the fruit's rich aromas and nutritional properties. Our expert guide will explain why every technical detail is vital to achieving a superior product.

The tour culminates in a true tasting masterclass. Led by an olive oil specialist, you will learn professional tasting techniques by comparing two emblematic, premium early-harvest varieties: Picual and Arbequina. This direct, side-by-side comparison makes it incredibly easy and fun to understand the differences between the varieties, moving from the intense, peppery notes of the Picual to the smooth, sweet, and fruity flavors of the Arbequina.
