Oro Bailen Family Reserva Extra (2.5L)

Oro Bailen Family Reserva Extra

Oro Bailen Family Reserva Extra encapsulates the artistry and passion of fine Spanish olive oil production. Hailing from Jaén in Andalusia, this oil is made with olives harvested early in the season to capture their intense aroma and vibrant green colour. The Family Reserva range includes exceptional monovarietal oils, most notably from picual and arbequina olives, each offering a distinctive, harmonious profile.

This picual version is celebrated for its brilliant, clear green colour and remarkable flavour, intertwining aromas of green grass, almond, green banana, and fresh tomato. Its taste is full-bodied and expressive, with elegant bitterness and a gentle spice that lingers beautifully. The arbequina variant is noted for its aromatic delicacy, blending notes of apple, ripe banana, almond, and freshly cut wheat. Both oils are carefully filtered and cold-extracted within hours of picking to preserve their organoleptic richness.

Oro Bailen Family Reserva Extra is produced with meticulous care, using innovative yet traditional techniques to maintain the purity of the olives and achieve exceptionally low acidity, a sign of superior quality. High in heart-friendly monounsaturated fats and antioxidants (polyphenols), this oil is a healthy addition to any diet. The natural anti-inflammatory properties and cholesterol-lowering capacity make it a smart choice for well-being.

As one of the world’s most decorated extra virgin olive oils, Oro Bailen Family Reserva Extra has amassed an enviable list of accolades. Prestigious awards include Gold Medals at the London International Olive Oil Competition, New York International Olive Oil Competition, Olive Japan, and others. It has also scored close to the maximum points in the Flos Olei Guide, cementing its place among the finest olive oils globally.

This oil is ideal to enjoy as is. Pour over salads, tomatoes, grilled vegetables, or artisan bread to let the complex aromas and vibrant flavours shine. It also enhances white fish, cheeses, and even simple potato dishes with a gourmet Spanish touch.

Every bottle is a testament to sustainable farming and the commitment of the Oro Bailen estate to quality and respect for the land. The Family Reserva range is made from olives grown on family-managed estates, benefitting from the optimal climate of Jaén, and is cold-extracted to capture each olive’s true character.

How the Spanish Enjoy Oro Bailen Family Reserva Extra

Spaniards treasure Oro Bailen Family Reserva Extra as a versatile staple for both traditional and contemporary cuisine. It is most cherished en crudo (raw) to truly appreciate its aroma and taste.

Many enjoy it with tostada con tomate (toasted bread with tomatoes), especially at breakfast. It is drizzled over ensaladas (salads), grilled peppers, and roasted aubergines, or simply savoured with good bread and a pinch of sea salt.

In Andalusia, this oil is poured over freshly harvested alcachofas (artichokes) and bacalao (cod), heightening each dish’s authenticity. Chefs also use it to finish soups or garnish grilled meats, allowing the fruity bouquet and fresh finish to elevate even the simplest recipes.
