DENOMINACION DE ORIGEN PROTEGIDA SIERRA DE SEGURA

Located in the northeast of the province of Jaén (Andalusia - Spain), the PDO Sierra de Segura is the oldest Protected Designation of Origin in Andalusia. Its olive trees of traditional cultivation, of dry land and in slope are of the Picual variety, although olive trees of the Manzanillo of Jaén, Verdala and Royal are also found. Pioneers in the cultivation of the organic olive grove and in early harvest extra virgin olive oils of the Picual variety are, in addition, the Protected Designation of Origin of virgin olive oil that has the largest area in Europe within a protected natural space, the Natural Park of the Sierras de Segura, Cazorla and Las Villas. Its extra virgin olive oils are very fruity, with a sweet entry in the mouth and flavors of the tomato, olive leaf, freshly cut grass and fig tree, with a bitter and spicy medium intensity. These olive juices reflect the good work of the olive growers of the Sierra de Segura.
