Item Details:  

Oil lovers appreciate the blend of Andalucian olives: Picual, Picudo and Hojiblanca that give this oil its distinctively fresh and fruity character. In addition, each harvest produces a very small amount of flor (flower) of the oil, made from crushed olives, but without pressing to give a particularly pure taste.

Enjoy the tantalizing nuances of green olives, oranges, lemons, grasses, almonds, and apples accentuated by a smooth, sweet finish. Explore your epicurean options—salads, entrées, and even desserts can benefit from the delectable flavor of this versatile olive oil.One family—200 years of expertise
Often several olive oil companies will combine their harvests to create their oil. The Núñez de Prado family has been providing premier extra virgin olive oil, from a single family estate, in Baena, Spain, since 1795. Each bottle contains extra virgin olive oil produced by skilled craftsmen and made with handpicked olives from the family’s Frías, Santo Toribio, Taquina, and Gastaceite groves. It is left unfiltered in order to retain all the delicious flavor.

100% Organic
The fully organic production of this oil begins in the orchards, where the olives—which have not been treated with any fertilizers or pesticides—pass through rigorous health and safety regulations to adhere to Spain’s strict standards for organic agriculture. This oil is certified organic by QAI (Quality Assurance International), a USDA-approved European control and certification organization for organic agriculture.

Up to seven olive varieties
Some olive oil brands use only one variety of olive, but Núñez de Prado Extra Virgin Olive Oil has intricate flavour nuances and utilizes up to seven varieties of olives from the family’s estates. They are harmoniously combined to create a perfect blend, and include floral Picudo, sweet Hojiblanca and robust Picual olives. The olives are gathered strategically by hand, in order not to bruise the skin or damage the pulp, and are chosen when they have just turned the perfect colour and ripeness. Then they are quickly sent to the family’s Almazara oil mill and crushed—all within hours of being picked.

0.2% Oleic acidity
All extra virgin olive oils must meet the standards of a stringent panel of tasters and must also contain less than 1.0% acidity. Many renowned Italian oils hover near 0.5%. The Núñez de Prado family produces an olive oil so pure that it has no more than 0.2% acidity, leaving the sweetness of the olive oil unmarred by sharpness.

Individually numbered bottles
Each bottle from this special limited-quantity harvest is numbered individually. This ensures that specific groves—and even individual trees—can be determined, allowing complete traceability and ensuring the highest quality. Want to visit the trees that produced your olive oil? Each bottle contains a personal invitation from the Núñez de Prado family to visit the family mill in Baena, Spain.
