What is the PDO Lucena Olive Oil?

The Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Lucena Olive Oil is a European quality seal awarded to Extra Virgin Olive Oils produced exclusively in the Lucena region, in southern Córdoba, Andalusia. This designation ensures that the oils are made using traditional methods, guaranteeing exceptional quality and unique sensory characteristics.

Hojiblanca Variety: The Star of the PDO Lucena

The olive variety that defines this designation is Hojiblanca, locally known as “Lucentina”. It stands out for its perfect balance between bitterness and pungency, with fresh, fruity notes reminiscent of freshly cut grass, green almond, apple, and banana.
