Bailén Oil Mill Tour + Tasting

We'll start at the time you choose in the oil tourism center located on the Madrid-Cádiz motorway, on the outskirts of Bailén, a town in Jaén linked to the olive oil sector.

During this visit, we'll discover how oil is obtained in the oil mill, or 'Almazara', which is of Arab origin and refers to the equipment used to extract juice from olives. The outcome is "liquid gold", a key feature of traditional Mediterranean gastronomy.

The tour will cover how the province of Jaén has emerged as one of the leading regions for olive oil production globally. We'll examine the production process and learn the techniques employed to create a product of high quality.

After the oil mill visit, we'll engage in a tasting of 2 olive oils from the Arbequina and Picual varieties, helping you to distinguish and appreciate these extra virgin olive oils.

The tour will conclude after 1.5 hours, leaving us with the rich flavors of olive oils on our palates.
