Valderrama oils are made by Casas de Hualdo on its own estate at El Carpio de Tajo (Toledo), where the mill stands among the olive groves. The olives reach the mill shortly after harvest and are cold-extracted. The oil settles naturally and is bottled under an inert atmosphere.

Where the other Valderrama oils each show one olive variety, Grand Cru combines four. The producer presents it as its blend for demanding chefs, and describes it as soft, dense and elegant.
