This smooth and slightly sweet olive oil sings with pronounced fruity notes and startles with a sudden, biting piquancy that culminates in a rich riot of flavor you’ll want to experience again and again. Derived from closely-guarded olive trees grown in western Spain, this oil has never before been imported to the US, and we’ve brought it to you with good reason. The olives are nurtured by gentle sun, abundant rain, and balmy temperatures, and then picked by hand using a precise method that preserves their characteristics. The result is an oil with immense nutty character and hints at flavors and fragrances of preserved lemon, almond, and green tomato. This rich, sumptuous olive oil boasting a luxurious texture and long finish, makes us feel as if we’ve captured a bit of heaven in a bottle. This is also a D.O.P. oil, which stands for Denomination of Protected Origin, and status that can only be used with products that meet certain geographical and quality standards.

This oil is perfect for dipping, drizzling on crudites or on steamed seafood.
