Julio López, Joaquín Fernández, Martín Jiménez, Rafael Moreno? and so on, up to 634 small farmers from Torres, a small town in Sierra Mágina, in the olive-growing heart of the province of Jaén. In 1971 we joined in a cooperative with a common goal, to create a picual that we can be proud of because it responds to the quality of our mountain olive trees - which gives the oil a fresh flavor t...hat plain trees do not have.
Thus was born Señorío de Camarasa, a gourmet and traditional oil, with a price adapted to everyone's reality.
An extra-virgin picual: The variety of picual olives, according to studies by Citoliva, is the one with the most antioxidants, the result is that the oil extracted from these olives has more antioxidant properties - protective of the heart, arteries, preventive of hypercholesterolemia?. In addition, this type of oil preserves its qualities intact much better than those made from any other variety of olives.
Coming from centenary olive trees: Do you know the region of Sierra Mágina? It is a protected Natural Park, where the mountains and the variety of fauna are protagonists. In this environment the olives that give rise to the Señorío de Camarasa oil grow; centennial trees in which farmers find excellence.
Harvested with care: The olive grove that gives rise to our oil grows, most of the time between slopes, on cliffs and slopes. This quality of a mountain olive grove, which makes harvesting much more difficult, is manifested in its flavor nuances, softer and more fruity than those of the plain olive grove. 97% of the cooperative members of Santa Isabel, those of us who make Señorío de Camarasa, are small farmers who have been caring for them for generations.
The result? A green oil, full of antioxidants and vitamins and with a unique flavor that turns every salad, every toast and the simplest steak into a great experience for the palate; helping, at the same time, to maintain a healthy diet.
