- EXTENDED SYNOPSIS
El aceite de oliva es el componente imprescindible de la dieta mediterránea. A principios del siglo XXI comenzó una revolución en Jaén: la Picual, la más emblemática de sus aceitunas, pero históricamente poco valorada, podía dar el mejor aceite de oliva virgen extra del mundo. Este documental nos adentra en los retos que planteaba ese cambio a través de los ojos de las gentes del olivar de Jaén, de los cocineros que han visto en este cambio una revolución gastronómica, de los olivareros y de los consumidores, y descubrir la belleza escondida de una de las provincias más desconocidas de España.
Olive oil is an essential ingredient of the Mediterranean diet. In the early 21st century a revolution broke out in Jaén: Picual, the most emblematic of its olives, but historically rather underrated, may well produce the best extra virgin olive oil in the world. This documentary introduces us to the challenges raised by this change seen through the eyes of the people from the Jaén olive groves, of the chefs who have seen in this change a revolution in terms of gastronomy and of the olive-producers and consumers. It also reveals the hidden beauty of one of Spain´s least-known provinces.
