Castillo de Canena Arbequina Olive Oil with Oak Smoke – 250g

Castillo de Canena has crafted this arbequina olive oil in Jaén with a distinctive character: cold-pressed arbequina olives infused with oak smoke. The result is a smooth, buttery base with an unexpected savory depth that sets it apart from traditional extra virgins. It's neither heavy nor overpowering — just a refined oil that makes ordinary dishes memorable.

About this product

This 250-gram bottle holds arbequina olives from the heart of Andalucía, pressed and then treated with natural oak smoke to create a subtle, woodsy undertone. Arbequina oils are known for their delicate, almost nutty character; the smoke adds complexity without masking the olive's origin. The result works beautifully as a finishing oil for soups, grilled vegetables, or even vanilla ice cream if you're feeling adventurous.

How to enjoy

• Drizzle over creamy soups (white gazpacho, chestnut bisque) for a smoky lift
• Finish grilled meats or roasted root vegetables just before serving
• Pair with sheep's cheese and membrillo for a tapas course
• Use as a dressing for bitter greens with sherry vinegar and shallots
