The name of the Hojiblanca variety comes from the whitish colour on the underside of the tree’s leaves, a characteristic that seems almost metallic in the sunlight and has also given it the name “Lucentina”. It is primarily found in the Andalusian provinces of Seville, Malaga and Córdoba. In total, its cultivation occupies around 200,000 hectares of Spain.
This variety adapts well to lime soils and to a certain extent it is tolerant to water scarcity. Due to its ability to adapt to demanding agricultural environments, the scientific community considers its oil to possess a greater complexity and content of minority compounds that are beneficial to our health.
The Hojiblanca olive has a rounded shape and a larger size than other varieties such as Picual, Cornicabra or Redondilla, making it versatile also as a table olive.
The Extra Virgin extracted from the Hojiblanca does not have a great resistance to oxidation, so it should be kept away from light and heat.

The pungency of this variety has a characteristic intensity that begins at the back or the throat and rises to the tip of the tongue. In tasting vocabulary, this pungency is similar to the spiciness of chillies or jalapeno peppers. For new comers to premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil it may seem unfamiliar of even too intense. However, this attribute is an unequivocal sign of the oil´s high content in Oleocanthal, a phenol responsible for the spicy sensations in Extra Virgin Olive Oils.
