About the oil mill

The S. Coop. And. Stmo. Cristo de la Misericordia, responsible for the brand La Quinta Esencia, has its origin in Jódar (Jaén) since 1952. Founded by a small group of olive growers, its goal was to protect and enhance the agricultural production of the area, producing and marketing high-quality extra virgin olive oils.

Over the years, this cooperative has managed to grow and modernize without losing its essence. Currently, it has about 700 members committed to the care of the olive tree and the environment. The location, at the gates of the Sierra Mágina Natural Park and the Upper Guadalquivir, allows cultivating olives in an environment rich in
biodiversity and natural resources.

La Quinta Esencia combines traditional techniques with the most innovative to obtain a balanced, fresh, and healthy oil. Its values focus on sustainability,
respect for the environment, and the constant pursuit of excellence, making its EVOO stand out for its purity and flavor.

Aove features Picual

The Picual variety is the most representative of extra virgin olive oil in Spain, covering more than 50% of the olive groves in our country, especially in the province of Jaén, although it is also very present in other areas of
Andalusia such as Córdoba or Granada. Its name comes from the shape of its fruit, which ends in a small point or “beak”.

Its color can vary from bright green to golden, depending on the degree of ripeness of the olive and the time of harvest. It is an oil with great oxidative stability, which means it preserves very well without losing properties, aromas, or flavor over time. Its complex structure and powerful profile make it unmistakable.

A true symbol of identity in the EVOO culture, the extra virgin olive oil Picual stands out for its intensity and sensory richness, as well as for its high concentration of polyphenols and an oleic acid percentage above 75%, which translates into beneficial properties for the cardiovascular system, helping to reduce LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and increase HDL (good cholesterol).

Pairing

Picual EVOO has a medium to intense fruitiness, with notes of olive leaf, tomato, fig tree, green almond, and freshly cut grass. On the palate, it offers a powerful flavor, with a marked bitterness and a persistent final spiciness,
although balanced.

Picual extra virgin olive oil is perfect for those seeking intense, structured, and characterful flavors. When raw, its best version is shown on sourdough toast with grated tomato or avocado, where it displays all its power. It is also ideal for dressing salads with bitter or spicy ingredients, such as arugula, escarole, red onion, mustard, or cured cheeses.

In hot dishes, it withstands high temperatures very well, making it excellent for crispy frying, meat stews, sofritos, baked rice dishes, stews, and sautéed vegetables. Additionally, it also works as a final touch
in cold creams like salmorejo or ajoblanco, enhancing their flavor.

FAQs

Is the color of the oil always the same?

The color of olive oil It can vary and is not always the same. It depends on several factors, such as the variety of the olive, the moment of collection and the elaboration process. Early harvest oils have an intense green color for their high chlorophyll content, especially after its elaboration. Over time, towards the end of the campaign, this tone can turn to more golden or yellowish nuances. This variation is natural and does not affect its flavor or quality.

How long does my oil endure?

Early oils are generally elaborated between October and November and stand out for their intensity and freshness. The ideal is to consume them in the first 9-12 months since its elaboration to enjoy all its qualities. Although they do not expire, they do lose aromas and properties over time. Our recommendation: Always bet on the current harvest oil and consume it as soon as possible to savor it at your best.

What does it mean that an oil is "early harvest"?

An early harvest oil is obtained from olives collected before its optimal maturation moment, usually between October and November. This process requires more effort, since green olives produce less oil and their collection is more complex, but the result is an extra virgin of superior quality, with intense, fresh and fruity flavors. In addition, these oils have a high content of antioxidants, such as polyphenols, which make it healthier and more aromatic.

How did I keep my oil?

The ideal is to keep it between 16 ° C and 22 ° C, and always well closed to avoid oxidation. Avoid having it near heat sources such as kitchen or sun.
