About Oro Bailen
Oro Bailén is one of the world's most-awarded extra virgin olive oil producers, crafting premium Spanish oils from their family estates in Jaén, Andalusia - the heartland of Spanish olive cultivation. Managed by José Gálvez, representing the third generation of the Gálvez-González family, the brand has focused exclusively on premium EVOO since 2002. The estate's exceptional location at the foothills of the Sierra Morena, at 400 metres altitude, provides ideal growing conditions across two farms - 'Los Juncales' and 'La Casa del Agua'. These traditional groves follow the classic 10x10 metre planting framework with complete irrigation, ensuring optimal olive development in the Mediterranean climate surrounded by diverse flora and fauna. Oro Bailén's accolades are extraordinary: their Picual variety was ranked the world's best olive oil by Evooleum 2020 and 2022, while Flos Olei has consistently awarded 99 points out of 100. The secret lies in their meticulous process - olives are cold-extracted within two hours of harvest and filtered to preserve flavour and antioxidants, achieving ultra-low acidity below 0.15%. Available in the UK through premium retailers and Ocado, Oro Bailén offers three signature varieties: the robust Picual with intense fruitiness, the delicate Arbequina with buttery notes, and the balanced Hojiblanca. Each represents the pinnacle of Spanish olive oil craftsmanship, bringing world-class quality to British kitchens.
