La Laguna Organic extra virgin olive oil, coupage of the varieties Picuda, Picual and Hojiblanca
Organic extra virgin olive oil coupage of the varieties Picuda, Picual and Hojiblanca, whose aroma makes it suitable for most dishes.
It is sweet and very aromatic in the mouth. In the olfactory phase, we can appreciate the intense fruitiness of olives in veraison, freshly cut grass and notes of wild herbs that provide great complexity. Fruit descriptors like apple, banana and green almond stand out.
On the palate, we enjoy green banana and artichoke, with a slight bitterness and a slight spiciness characteristic of the hojiblanca variety. In the final aftertaste, we can appreciate the ripe almonds and the dried fruits that persist in the time.
The origins of this family business date back to 1845. From a small olive grove of less than a hectare, a heritage was born that has been developed and consolidated over six generations.
Today, the old oil mill built by Antonio López Ortiz in 1918 has been modernized and equipped with the most advanced continuous ecological system, which does not produce alpechín, in order to market its top-quality oils: Morellana and La Laguna.
The olives, whose juice is the oil we offer, are grown in olive groves south of Córdoba, in the municipalities of Luque and Baena, on gently sloping and still elevated terrain, much of it at the foot of the Sierra de las Subbéticas nature park.
The two great olive-growing areas of Andalusia come together here, the picual, typical of Jaén, and the hojiblanco, characteristic of Cordoba, to which must be added another variety, typical of the Baena appellation of origin, known as picudo or carrasqueño, which produces one of the most exquisite oils in the world.
