Frequently Asked Questions

Our olive oil comes from Spain, from the province of Jaén, specifically from the regions of Sierra de Segura and Sierra de Cazorla.

Both areas have a Protected Designation of Origin (DOP), which stands for exceptional quality and authenticity.

In addition, Señoríos de Relleu olive oil comes from the village of Relleu, in the Alicante region, about 10 km from the Mediterranean Sea.

Extra virgin means that the olive oil is pure, without chemical processing and with an acidity below 0.8%. This guarantees the highest quality and taste.

At Casa Gomez, extra virgin means more than just a quality mark. Our olive oil is pressed directly from the best olives, exclusively by cold pressing and without chemical or industrial processing. This ensures that all aromas, antioxidants and healthy fatty acids are preserved.

To earn the name “extra virgin,” the olive oil must:

• Made from 100% mechanically pressed olives (without heat or solvents).
• Have an acidity of maximum 0.8% – a sign of top quality and freshness.
• Have no taste or smell deviations and a perfect balance of bitterness, fruitiness and a light peppery touch.

What is the difference with other olive oil?

• Extra virgin → The highest quality, pure and unprocessed. Ideal for dressings, dips and to finish dishes.
• Virgin olive oil → Slightly higher acidity (up to 2%) and less pronounced flavour. Suitable for cooking, but less aromatic.
• Refined olive oil → Industrially processed, neutral in taste and often mixed with virgin olive oil. Less healthy and less tasty.
• Olive oil (without extra virgin label) → Often a mix of refined and virgin olive oil, which reduces its quality and nutritional value.
