The extra-virgin olive oil produced by Aceites Padilla comes exclusively from the Picual variety which is grown on the Padilla family farm, located on the outskirts of the town of Bailen (Jaén). The climate of the town of Bailen is influenced by the nearby Mountain Range the Sierra Morenas, which rise not far from the farm.  The family farm is located on terraced surfaces of low altitudes and gentle slopes between the Rumblar and Guadiel Rivers,    tributaries of the right bank of the Guadalquivir River.  The farm is embedded in the clay soils that have served as raw materials to the city of Bailen from its beginning.
