The Sierra Mágina region is located in the central-southern part of the province of Jaén, in the surroundings of the Mágina mountains that gives it its name. It has approximately 60,000 hectares of olive groves, with an average slope greater than 15%, and a balanced proportion of dryland and irrigated olive groves. Almost all of it is traditional olive groves plantations belonging to small scale farmers.

In the production of oils protected by our Designation of Origin,he process begins with the harvest in the field, which is carried out using only olives from the tree, collected with care and cleanliness to prevent deterioration, and delivered to the oil mill immediately after harvesting. Within the registered oil mills themselves, the fruit must be ground in less than 48 hours after receipt, and the oil obtained must be stored in suitable tanks for optimal conservation, mainly made of stainless steel.
 

The Sierra Mágina Designation of Origin constitutes an official recognition of the extraordinary quality of the olive oils of this region in Jaen, Andalusia.

They must be harvested and produced according to the strict specifications of the regulatory counsel.
