100,00 € VAT included
Aldea de Don Gil is an extra virgin olive oil from the Subbética area of Córdoba, between Carcabuey and Priego de Córdoba. A blend of Hojiblanca, Picual and Picudo with aromas of tomato, ripe apple and fig, supplied in a case of six 2-litre jugs.
Aldea de Don Gil is an extra virgin olive oil born beside the Sierras de la Subbética Natural Park in Córdoba, between the towns of Carcabuey and Priego de Córdoba. This case holds six 2-litre jugs, twelve litres of a blend made for the everyday cooking of a house with a busy table.
The blend brings together Hojiblanca, Picual and Picudo, three olives deeply rooted in southern Córdoba. The result is an oil of medium intensity, gentle on the palate, with a finish that wakes the senses without taking over: the one you open in the morning for bread and keep using at the stove at noon.

How Aldea de Don Gil tastes
Nose
Aromas of tomato and ripe apple, with notes of fig and olive leaf. A fruity, rounded profile with a green touch that recalls the Subbética countryside in autumn.
Palate
The entry is sweet and moves gradually towards medium bitterness. Hojiblanca brings softness and fruit, Picual adds structure and Picudo contributes a delicate sweetness that rounds off the whole.
Finish
A clean, brief peppery touch in the throat that leaves the mouth fresh. Sweetness, bitterness and pungency stay in balance, which makes it easy to reach for at any hour.
Between Carcabuey and Priego
The Aldea de Don Gil mill sits at the foot of the sierra, in a landscape of hillside olive groves and whitewashed villages. The company has focused on continuously improving its production process and built a modern mill where the oil is both made and bottled.
The Subbética of Córdoba is an olive-growing district of rugged relief, altitude and temperature contrasts that set the pace at which the olives ripen. That imprint shows in a fruity, balanced oil such as this one.
Where Aldea de Don Gil shines in the kitchen
- Sofritos, stews and braises that need an oil with body but no sharp edges.
- Oven-roasted vegetables and baker's potatoes.
- Toast with grated tomato at breakfast.
- Seasonal salads and cold pulse dishes.
- Doughs, sponge cakes and home baking.
Six 2-litre jugs of Aldea de Don Gil
The case suits large families, households that cook every day, or anyone who likes a pantry stocked for months. Each jug is light and easy to handle, and only the one in use needs to be opened while the rest stay sealed.
To keep its aromas, store the jugs somewhere cool and dark, away from the hob and direct light. Filling an opaque cruet from the jug helps protect the oil from air while it is being used.
