Castillo de Canena Spanish Olive Oil:

Castillo de Canena is a unique family business, involved in the whole process of creating the extra virgins: from the tree to its commercialization. The farm is located in the province of Jaén. It works under the API certification, an environmentally friendly way of agriculture, halfway between traditional and organic farming. The farm passes monthly audits that certify compliance with all standards. Currently, most of the farm is being reconverted to organic farming.

All its oils are from early harvests, highlighting the first day of harvest as its high range oil (red bottle). Ecological and biodynamic picual and arbequina oils follow all the indications of this crop and are cold extracted by mechanical processes. The family reserve oils are also coming from early harvest and of very high quality that only the most trained palates could taste the differences between these oils and the first day harvest oils.

In the mouth it has a well-structured and persistent body, with a very balanced bitter and spicy taste.
