Juan Gil Cantaores Arbequina Extra Virgin Olijfolie Biologisch

origin and producer

Cantaores olive oil comes from Casa de los Cantaores in Jumilla, in the Spanish region of Murcia. The area is known for its rich agricultural lands and dry climate, ideal for growing olives with concentrated aromas. The producer is part of the Juan Gil family, which has been producing quality products for generations with a focus on sustainability and authenticity. The olives are grown organically without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

olive variety and harvest

This oil is made from 100% Arbequina olives. This variety is known for its soft, fruity character and balanced flavor. Harvesting is done mechanically with an umbrella-shaking system, which ensures rapid processing and minimal oxidation. The olives are pressed immediately after picking, preserving their freshness and aromatic intensity.

production and extraction

The Cantaores Arbequina is cold-pressed, at a maximum temperature of 27°C, to preserve its natural aromas and nutrients. The oil is stored in stainless steel tanks, protected from light and oxygen. This careful process guarantees stability, clarity, and optimal flavor structure. Production is entirely organic, certified according to European standards for sustainable agriculture.

color, smell and taste

The oil has a greenish-yellow color with a vibrant sheen. The aroma is fresh and intensely fruity with notes of green tomato, banana, and apple, complemented by a hint of rosemary and other Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, the oil is medium-bodied, elegant, and balanced between bitterness and mildness. The finish is soft, slightly nutty, and harmonious. This style makes it exceptionally versatile in cooking.

use and serving advice

Juan Gil Cantaores Arbequina is ideal for both cold and hot preparations. Perfect with grilled vegetables, salads, fresh pasta, or as a finishing touch on grilled meat and fish. It's also delicious on toasted bread or burrata with sea salt. Its mild flavor enhances dishes without being overpowering.

packaging and storage

Available in 500ml bottles, packs of six. The oil is packaged in sturdy glass bottles that protect from light. Store in a cool, dark place away from heat sources to preserve its quality and freshness for the longest time.
