This cooperative is located in the same town of Baena, in Córdoba, and sells its olive oil with the following brands
- Duque de Baena: Duque de Baena oil is their best olive oil. Also, they have the premium Duque Baena is called Gold selection of Duque de Baena also with Denomination of Origin.
- German Baena: They have the German Baena brand for another high quality olive with Denomination of Origin but with better price.
- Hacienda Real: Extra virgin olive oil that is only bottled in plastic. For that reason, this oil do not have Designation of Origin Baena. As it does not carry the stamp of the Denomination, it is bottled in plastic.
German Baena supplies within its brands two types of oil: filtered and unfiltered extra virgin olive oil.
- The filtered oil is supplied under Hacienda Real and German Baena brands.
- The unfiltered oil is supplied in all brands and formats. Although, in plastic it only supplies the unfiltered one during the first months of the campaign.
Finally, we recommend all our clients to try the fresh olive oils (firstly milled) from the first season, an extra virgin olive oil that has not been filtered or decanted. It is the purest and healthiest oil of all, freshly pressed. Because they decant, these oils are only available from the end of November to the end of January.

The olive oil from Peña de Baena is another extaordinary olive oil. However, we don´t sel it now.

Here you have frequently asked questions:
-
When does the first harvest come?
This cooperative usually starts to mill their olive oil at the beginning of November. Cosequently, the first harvest comes at the beginning of December normally. Also, we call their first olive oil, fresh olive oil and it is neither filtered nor decanted.

Why buy it here and not at Carrefour and amazon?
Baena oil is available in amazon, carrefour, El Corte Ingles and other supermarkets. However, I recommend buying these Baena oils in specialized stores. These stores will give you information and advice. Even more so when we reach the end of the season, as supermarkets throw away the prices to get rid of all the old oil.

All our olive oils have a low acidity.

We never send oils that have only a few months left before their expiration date.
