Extra Virgin Olive Oil (organic)

Producer: Nuñez de Prado Origin: Andalusia, Spain

World renowned, 100% organic, and one of Spain’s most famous olive oils. Seven generations of the Nuñez de Prado family have been grinding olive oil in the sun kissed hills of Baena, Spain. Olives are handpicked and crushed in the family’s granite stone wheels, similar to those used by the Romans 20 centuries ago. This oil is estate-produced and bottled. The process begins in the orchards where the olives, which have not been treated with any fertilizers or pesticides, are hand-picked, then pass thorough a rigorous selection at the family’s mill. The olives are then crushed under granite stones, an ancient process.
