'''Description'''

[[DOP]] '''Sierra Mágina''' is a Spanish extra virgin ''olive oil'' obtained from [[olives]] (''Olea europea, L'') of the Picual
and Manzanillo de Jaén varieties.

The protected variety regarded as the principal one is the Picual.

Acidity can be up to a maximum of 0,5%.

It is highly stable [[olive oil]], very fruity and slightly bitter. Colour varying from deep green
to golden yellow depending on the period the [[olives]] are harvested and the location of
the [[olive]] grove within the region.

The protected extra virgin [[olive oils]] are prepared from [[olives]] not less than 90% of
which are of the Picual variety.

'''Geographical area'''

The production area is situated in the Sierra Mágina natural park in
the central part of the southern zone of the province of Jaén. It comprises 14 townships
and has olive groves covering a total of 61,000 ha representing 80% of the utilised
agricultural area.

'''Method of production'''

Ripened [[olives]] of the authorised varieties from registered [[olive]]
groves are harvested carefully, separating those from the ground from those from the
tree. The [[olives]] are delivered to [[oil]] mills under conditions which ensure that they do
not deteriorate. They are cleaned and washed, leaves, stalks, earth and impurities are
removed and the oil is extracted by pressing. The process is completed in a period of
not more than 48 hours. The production methods are appropriate and are authorised
and inspected by the Regulating Council. The [[oil]] is decanted and the quality [[oil]] run off
is analysed and classified. Only extra virgin [[olive oil]] is given the protection of the
designation.

'''Geographical link'''

The Sierra Mágina is a massif that rises above the plain in a relatively short
continuous line running from north east to south east and surrounded by smaller hills.

The [[olive]] groves are to be found on the gentler slopes of the massif, up to an altitude
of 850 m, giving it the appearance of an island in the midst of a sea of [[olive]] trees. The
soils most commonly occurring are lithosols, calcareous regosols, cambrisols and
chromic luvisols. The climate fluctuates between Mediterranean subtropical and Mediterranean temperate, with annual average temperatures of between 13C and 17C,
and average annual rainfall between 400 mm and 800 mm. Traditional tilling, semi-
tilling, pruning and pest and disease control methods provide a suitable environment for
the development of [[olive]] trees from which healthy [[olives]] are obtained giving the [[oil]] its
distinctive characteristics that are closely linked with the geographical surroundings.
