EL HENAZAR

Located in the town of Doña Mencía, a Cordoban village situated in the transitional area between the provinces of Córdoba and Jaén, in the heart of the Cordoban Subbética, presenting a wide variety of olive types. The olive cooperative takes advantage of this varietal richness to produce both Early Selection Single-Variety Extra Virgin Olive Oils, as well as Natural Coupage, a very balanced extra virgin olive oil, selecting the best of their production and subjecting them to the strictest quality controls by the Baena Designation of Origin. We have the IFS quality seal.

Extra virgin olive oil, with Baena Designation of Origin, which we produce in our Cooperative, is obtained from healthy fruit picked from the tree at the optimal moment. We have three Single Varietals: Picudo, Picual, and Hojiblanco, and a multi-varietal oil, Natural Coupage, made from a natural blend of the different varieties present in our olive groves, the most representative being Picual, Hojiblanca, Picuda, Chorrúa, and Pajarera. This natural gem is the result of the farmers' effort, who strive to offer consumers a quality product and a source of health. Studies from the University of Córdoba support the high content of polyphenols in our oils, concluding that the polyphenols in olive oil contribute to the protection of blood lipids against oxidative damage. The beneficial effect of polyphenols is achieved with a daily intake of 20 grams of extra virgin olive oil.
