The Apellation of Origin Lucena's Oil is located in the south of the province and includes ten municipalities, which are circumscribed in the southernmost area of Córdoba: Aguilar de la Frontera, Benamejí, Encinas Reales, Iznájar, Lucena, Montilla, Monturque, Moriles, Genil and Rute Bridge.
The product covered by the Apellation of Origin Lucena's Oil is extra virgin olive oil, obtained from the “flying” fruit of olive trees of the Hojiblanca variety (greater than 90%), and from other accepted secondary varieties (Arbequina, Picual, Lechín, Tempranilla, Ocal, Campanil and Chorruo), exclusively by physical or mechanical procedures, by extraction at low temperature, thus preserving the flavor, aroma and characteristics of the fruit from which it comes.
TASTING NOTES: Green fruity with great aromatic elegance. On the nose, green tones reminiscent of freshly cut grass are mixed with the fruity aromas of apple and ripe banana. In the mouth, the entrance is sweet, balanced, ending with a pleasant spiciness and an aftertaste of green almonds.
