Castillo de Canena Reserva Familiar Picual or Arbequina varities

Castillo de Canena is a unique family business, involved in the whole process of creating the extra virgins: from the tree to its commercialization. The farm is located in the province of Jaén. It works under the API certification, an environmentally friendly way of agriculture, halfway between traditional and organic farming. The farm passes monthly audits that certify compliance with all standards. Currently, most of the farm is being reconverted to organic farming.

The Castillo de Canena picual oil:

On the nose it has a medium fruity green olive and leaf note, a fragrant and quite complex aroma, balsamic with touches of mint and some citrus.

In the mouth it has a well-structured and persistent body, with a very balanced bitter and spicy taste.

The Arbequina Oil Reserve of Castillo de Canena:

On the nose: softly fruity fresh olive, with slight touches of green apple and artichoke, and a slight spicy hint typical of the arbequinos from Jaén, very high in percentage of oleic acid and polyphenols, which gives them an extraordinary stability.

On the palate: it has an elegant entry; it is fluid and sweet on the palate, although a slight spiciness and a barely perceptible bitterness gradually appear.
