Our oil comes from the centuries-old olive groves of the Lecrin Valleyin the heart of Granada. Among the many treasures that this paradise has to offer, the most prized fruit, the olive, stands out. From it we obtain the juice that the poet Homer compared to liquid gold, oil. The Orovalle Extra Virgin Olive Oilwhich we produced in the San Roque Cooperativea product of excellent quality and flavour obtained from the lechín olive from Granada.

In the following video you can see how we elaborate our oil from the harvesting of the olives to the final product.

It is a productive and neighbouring variety, with a great capacity of adaptation, which tolerates cold and drought. It ripens late and its small fruits are very resistant to detachment, making harvesting difficult and costly. It has a good fat yield. It is a pale yellow oil, with a sweet and very fluid flavour, very well known in the area.

Orovalle Extra Virgin Olive Oil is characterised by being a single variety Lechín de Granada. Its quality is certified by the agro-food laboratory of the Junta de Andalucía in Atarfe and certified by the SEGE (Seminario de Estudios Gastronómicos y Enológicos) of the University of Granada. Its originality comes from the way the centuries-old olive trees of the Lecrín Valley are cultivated, alternating on the terraces with citrus and other fruit trees. This gives our oil a distinctive flavour and aromas that give it a unique personality.
