IMAGINE ROYAL

Imagine Royal contains Royal extra virgin olive oil, an exclusive variety native to the Sierra de Cazorla. This edition comes in 250 ml or 500 ml glass bottles, bell-shaped and matte black. This variety stands out for its unique character, as its olive trees are found only in the surroundings of the Sierra de Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas Natural Park. Within global extra virgin olive oil production, Royal represents only 5% of total output, making it an honor to offer this exclusive variety from our own land.

Royal Sierra de Cazorla oil is part of our "Imagine Line," through which we want to convey the exclusivity and quality of a truly unique oil — early-harvest Royal oil. This line was created as a way to introduce the world to Royal Jaén oil, an extraordinary product of this Andalusian region. With Imagine Royal, we want you to enjoy this singular variety, which we have the privilege of growing in our region. Among the characteristics of Royal olive oil are multiple health benefits: a high content of vitamin E, polyphenols, and monounsaturated fatty acids, which help protect cells from deterioration.

The characteristics of the land and its ancestral cultivation methods make it possible to produce a top-quality oil — Royal Cazorla oil, unique in the world. The great care taken of the groves aims to preserve the high qualities of the Royal variety. Our growing system is based on selecting the finest olive trees on our land to achieve excellence in our fruit. Fruit-setting then takes place to extract the finest elixir. Throughout the entire process, at Verde Esmeralda Olive we make sure the fruit doesn't undergo thermal fluctuations and is always kept at the proper temperature. The harvesting process prevents any loss of properties, ensuring the finest Royal oil.

Our goal is to form a true partnership with our land — nurturing and caring for it so we can produce an oil of the highest quality and an unforgettable flavor. This is the result of our admiration for nature and the environment, which allow us to make the most of them alongside the best innovation systems.

all. Among its nuances, its intense spiciness stands out, which disappears slightly leaving a pleasant floral aftertaste. Deep fruitiness
reminiscent of tomato, artichoke, freshly cut grass and green olives. When Picual oil is young, its spiciness is accentuated, always in a
balanced way. It is considered a powerful and full-bodied oil, with which you can taste its distinguished flavor with a small portion on your plate.
