Liquid Gold, Gold in the World
La Ballestera’s extra virgin olive oil conquers the most demanding palates across four continents.
High in the sierras that touch the sky between Cazorla and Andújar—where silence speaks its own language and the land breathes art—an oil is born unlike any other. In 2025, La Ballestera’s early harvest extra virgin olive oil has received the highest honors in four of the world’s capitals of flavor: Athens, New York, Italy, and China.
A golden year. Four medals that not only celebrate excellence, but confirm something deeper: that in every drop lives a rare harmony of land, patience, and beauty.
Double Gold in Athens
In the heart of the Mediterranean, cradle of the olive, the jury of the Athena International Olive Oil Competition awarded La Ballestera the Double Gold. A recognition reserved for truly exceptional oils, where intensity and finesse coexist in perfect balance.
Gold in New York
In the city that never sleeps, where authenticity shines amidst the noise, La Ballestera earned a Gold Medal at the NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition. A tribute from one of the most influential platforms for premium olive oils worldwide.
Gold in Italy
From the country that has elevated olive oil into everyday art comes another Gold Medal. At the prestigious Italian competition, La Ballestera’s extra virgin was celebrated for its purity, freshness, and aromatic complexity.
Intense Gold in China
In the increasingly sophisticated Asian market, ever more attentive to the nuances of olive oil, La Ballestera was distinguished with the “Intense Gold” award at the Oil China Competition. A recognition that highlights its powerful profile, elegant structure, and uncompromising authenticity.
More than a product, a philosophy
No visitors, no noise, no tourism. La Ballestera does not seek mass appeal, but intimate encounters with those who understand that what is valuable needs no spectacle. Its olive trees, lovingly cultivated on a 200-hectare estate, produce a strictly limited edition oil that only a few will taste.
In every bottle: a landscape.
In every aroma: a season.
In every sip: a story of light, art, and land.
La Ballestera. Gold in essence.
