Want to know where the term "Green Gold" comes from?

You've probably heard Extra Virgin Olive Oil called "Green Gold" — and you may know of the International Olive Council, the global body dedicated to olive oil and table olives. But do you know where that expression actually comes from?

I'll tell you all about it in a moment. But first, let me share something exciting: this year, Migue, our grower at Olivar de San Miguel, has decided to produce a very limited batch of this authentic "Green Gold" olive oil — made from century-old olive groves, first cold extraction, with a careful hand-selection of the olives used. A true tribute to Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

We expect this Extra Virgin Olive Oil to be ready by mid-November, though the exact date will depend on rainfall over the coming days. With this "Green Gold," we're expanding our collection of premium-quality Extra Virgin Olive Oils.

As promised, let me tell you where "Green Gold" comes from — its fruity flavor and aroma, and what makes the Picual variety so distinctive and special.

The origin of the expression "Green Gold" for Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Long ago — we're talking about our great-great-grandparents' time — Extra Virgin Olive Oil was never filtered. The finest oil, the one olive growers kept for themselves and their families, was the first to be collected: made from the first cold extraction, using the traditional beam press.

This oil had a pure, deep green color — a rich, vivid olive green — and a genuinely intense flavor, unlike anything else in Mediterranean cooking, perfect for summer salads, thanks to its cold extraction. And that is how it came to be known as "Green Gold."

An intense oil, in color…

An intense oil, in flavor…

An intense oil, in its cold extraction...

An intense oil, in its olive variety...

An oil made only for true lovers of pure, freshly pressed olive juice…

That is Green Gold!

You can already buy your "Green Gold" olive oil. But remember — this batch is very limited.

We want you to try it, and if you love it and let us know, we'll make more next year!

We hope we haven't underestimated demand — and that you get the chance to try this oil and take in every detail of the product. I can't wait for you to experience it!

Warm regards,

Julio.

P.S. I'll leave you with a verified customer review from Jorge — one that truly left us speechless.

"We're not olive oil experts at home, though we've been buying various brands of virgin olive oil over the years.

Saying this extra virgin olive oil is extraordinary is almost too obvious — it simply is. But I'd like to offer a different perspective. In our case, we decided to take a step up in quality, and — why not say it — in our own enjoyment. We're an average family that chose to spend a little more than the market average in exchange for a better quality of life. Tell me honestly: when you sit down to breakfast before work, isn't it a real pleasure to have a slice of toast with this extraordinary Green Gold olive oil, made from Arbequina olives?

Thank you for your products, and especially for «Estirpe».

By the way, the order arrived at my door before the payment had even cleared my account."
