Oleícola Jaén is a modern olive oil experience provider based in Baeza, Andalucía. The business operates a contemporary almazara where visitors can join guided tours, tastings and curated cultural activities that explain the production and flavours of extra virgin olive oil (AOVE).
Visits include the Almazara & Cata two‑hour tour, the Olive Mill Tour & Extra Virgin Olive Oil Tasting, AOVEland & (Re)nacimiento, AOVEland GastroXperience and the evening AOVEland by Night. Each experience combines a mill visit with guided tasting sessions of premium and early‑harvest oils and sampling of local delicacies.
Guides present the technical and gastronomic aspects of olives and oil, while audiovisual elements such as the immersive ARJÉ projection enrich the narrative. Some experiences pair tastings with a special menu at Restaurante Acebuche or a guided walk through Baeza’s historic centre led by local guides. The focus remains on learning how modern milling, sensory evaluation and culinary pairings shape the profile of high‑quality AOVE.
Oleícola Jaén blends tradition and innovation by showcasing contemporary art, modern production facilities and regional gastronomy in one setting. Its programs suit food enthusiasts, cultural travellers and anyone interested in the Mediterranean Diet and the world of olive oil. Practical details, booking options and specific itineraries are provided for each tour so visitors can choose the experience that best matches timing and interest.
