⭐ Castillo de Canena Extra Virgin Olive Oil — The Jewel of Andalusia (250ml)

This is not just an olive oil.
This is Castillo de Canena — one of Spain’s most celebrated estates, crafting world-class extra virgin olive oil from the hills of Jaén. Named after the family’s historic castle overlooking the groves, this oil represents generations of craftsmanship, sustainability, and unwavering dedication to quality.

The estate is a global leader in sustainable olive farming: generating its own solar power, using pruned branches as eco-friendly fuel, and maintaining natural plant cover to protect the soil and local ecosystem. They are proud members of the Extra Virgin Alliance (EVA) and the prestigious Grandes Pagos del Olivar, a collective of the best olive oil producers in Spain.

This harvest delivers an extraordinary 100% Picual olive oil — intensely fruity, vibrant green, and bursting with character. Cold-pressed within 4 hours of picking (no water added), it captures the purest essence of the olive: bold, aromatic, complex, and alive with flavours of tomato vine, herbs, green wheat and wild chamomile.

This is a chef’s oil. A finishing oil. A show-off-to-your-friends oil.
