Product Description

Harvested in Spain, this fresh Manzanillo Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a robust yet exceptionally well-balanced oil with abundant fruitiness, a smooth almond character, and a lively green finish.

A creamy almond center gives the oil richness and approachability before transitioning into distinctive bitter-sweet greens. Its fruitiness, measured bitterness, and peppery pungency work together beautifully, creating a powerful Spanish olive oil that remains balanced from the first taste through the lingering finish.
