Virgin Olive oil :Virgin olive oil is the oil obtained from the fruit of the olive tree solely by mechanical or other physical means under conditions, particularly thermal conditions, that do not lead to alterations in the oil, and which has not undergone any treatment other than washing, decantation, centrifugation and filtration. This is a natural product that preserves the flavour, aroma and vitaminics of the fruit.

Extra virgin olive oils are oils obtained in this way having an excellent flavour and aroma and a maximum acidity, in terms of oleic acid, of 1 gram per 100 grams.

Virgin olive oils are those with a good flavour and a maximum acidity in terms of oleic acid of 1-2 grams per 100 grams.


Spain is the world�s first olive oil producer and exporter,has a high level of production of high-quality oil and offers consumers a wide range of flavours. Spanish Olive Oil is subject to strict quality control. The Spanish authorities take samples and analyse them to check that they meet all the quality requirements established by the European Union.

Today olives are cultivated in most of Spain but the greatest density is to be found in Andalusia, especially in the provinces of Ja�n and C�rdoba. Baena (in Andaluc�a) is the most well-known "Denominaci�n de Origen". Its oils have a yellowy-gold colour, are fruity and very mild, and the aroma lasts a long time.

Oak barrels in collusion with time and the particular properties of the region, make up the characteristic colour, aroma and taste of this famous and unequalled Xerez vinegar.

"Vinagres de Yema" is the fruit of the most ancient traditions in the art of ageing Xerez wines and vinegars. It is distinguished by possessing the oldest vintages from amongst this prestigious "Denominaci�n de Origen".
