About

This is where it all begins

In Jaén, Spain, olive trees stretch as far as the eye can see. The sun shows up every day, doing what it does best. And the olives take their time. This is where GOTA begins.

Here, the trees grow slowly and the land is cared for the same way it has been for generations, with patience, respect, and a deep connection to the countryside.

One day, an olive finally lets go of the branch and drops gently onto the hat of a farmer resting in the shade. And just like that, the story begins.

The transformation

This is where the magic happens.

At harvest, every olive is handled with care. Because every single one matters. The goal is simple: protect everything nature already did right.

Then comes cold extraction.

Slowly, the fruit becomes something new, a pure, vibrant oil full of aroma, freshness, and character. This is Picual at its best: bold, green, and unmistakably alive.

The result is an oil that wakes up whatever it touches: bread, tomatoes, grilled vegetables... everything really.

Big flavor. Straight from the olive. That’s exactly what goes into every bottle of GOTA.

The journey continues

From Jaén, GOTA begins its journey.

It carries the scent of the groves, the work of many hands, and a long tradition of doing things the right way.

But it’s not meant to stay in the countryside. It’s meant to travel, from the grove to kitchens everywhere. Because great olive oil shouldn’t stay a secret.

Every GOTA bottle leaves with one mission: to make everyday food taste better.

And then it reaches your table

Finally, GOTA arrives where it belongs: your kitchen.

A drizzle over tomatoes. A splash on warm bread. The finishing touch on a dish you’re proud of.

What started as a single olive in Jaén now becomes part of your meals, your table, your health.

A drop of the Mediterranean lifestyle.

An olive oil that truly stands out

100% PICUAL

The Picual olive is known for its bold character and exceptional quality. It produces an olive oil that’s intense yet beautifully balanced, packed with personality. Expect fresh green notes of olive leaf, grass and ripe tomato, followed by a gentle bitterness and a soft peppery finish that gives it depth and elegance.

SINGLE ORIGIN

This extra virgin olive oil comes from one single geographical area, capturing the true character of the land where the olives grow. Full traceability guarantees authenticity and consistency, delivering an EVOO with a clear identity and a distinctive flavour profile in every bottle.

COLD-EXTRACTED

Our oil is cold-extracetd to protect everything that makes it special. This gentle process preserves the aromas, flavour and natural goodness of the fruit, resulting in a pure extra virgin olive oil that stays true to its origin.

RICH IN POLYPHENOLS

Picual olives are naturally rich in polyphenols, powerful antioxidants that help keep the oil fresh, flavourful and nutritionally valuable. They’re also what give this EVOO its signature bitterness and lively kick.

Hola! I'm Manuel

If there’s bread on the table, I’m probably reaching for the olive oil.

As a Spaniard, that habit comes pretty naturally. A drizzle here, a splash there… suddenly everything tastes better.

In Spain, olive oil isn’t a luxury. It’s just life. A splash in the pan. A drizzle over tomatoes. Bread, olive oil, maybe a pinch of salt.

Wherever I’ve lived, that little ritual has followed me. Good ingredients. Good bread. And olive oil close by.

But something always surprised me. The kind of olive oil people use every day in Spain - fresh, vibrant, generous - was strangely hard to find. And when you did find it, it often felt too special to actually use.

Back home, olive oil flows. It’s everyday. Alive in the kitchen. Part of cooking, part of sharing food, part of life around the table.

I want to bring that feeling to more
tables around the world. Not just exceptional Spanish extra virgin olive oil, but the spirit that comes with it: the Mediterranean way of cooking, eating, and living.

Because great olive oil shouldn’t hide inside a cupboard. It should live on the counter. On the table. And on your food, every single day.

That’s the idea behind GOTA.
