Granted DOP status by the EU more than two decades ago, this is one of the finest extra virgin olive oil producing regions in the entire world. This particular Extra Virgin Olive Oil is crafted using organically grown local olive varieties: Picual, Picudo and Hojiblanca. These are stone ground at the family mill rather than being pressed.

The paste is then placed between grass mats, which are piled up, gently squeezing the oil out. The free-run oil - known as 'Flor de Aceite' or 'Flower of the Oil' - drips out naturally and is bottled unfiltered to retain its deep flavour. This results in an incredibly pure and natural olive oil with low acidity and glorious citrus, tropical fruit, Marcona almond and pepper notes.

This liquid sunshine is a perfect finishing oil. Drizzle over simply cooked fish, salads, grilled vegetables, pasta or tapas. Alternatively, pour a little into a dish, add a sprinkle of sea salt and dab at it with hunks of freshly baked bread.
