Esencia del Sur Olive Oil

The picual olive variety is ideal both for consuming raw and for cooking. Its bitterness and spiciness make this intensely flavored olive oil the star of the table. And its high stability due to its high polyphenol content supports a higher average temperature than the rest of the olive varieties.

Oleocampo

Oleocampo is the company that produces the Esencia del Sur brand and was established in 1995. It is currently made up of five mills and they have more than 50 years of experience in the production of olive oil. They are located in the southern countryside of the province of Jaén (Andalusia, Spain). Specifically in the municipalities of Torredelcampo, Torredonjimeno and Villardompardo. These five mills produce the olive oil that will later be bottled in the Oleocampo bottling plant.

The extension of the olive groves they cultivate extends to 10,812 hectares of olive groves. And the cooperative partners are estimated at 3,472. Obviously, Oleocampo is one of the largest producers and marketers of olive oil in Spain.

In addition, Oleocampo not only produces the Esencia del Sur brand, but also markets its Premium Oleocampo brand. An extra virgin olive oil that is produced from olives harvested during the first days of the harvest. The reason why they are harvested so early is to achieve the highest concentration of organoleptic properties in the olive. Likewise, this is also the cause of the production being lower since the olive does not finish ripening and therefore the extraction of juice is less in liters.
