Núñez de Prado Flor de Aceite Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil

One of Spain’s most distinctive extra virgin olive oils, Núñez de Prado Flor de Aceite comes from a family whose olive estates in Baena, Andalusia, date back to 1795. This prestigious, handcrafted organic EVOO is bottled in individually numbered bottles.

Flor de Aceite means “Flower of the Oil,” referring to the precious oil that naturally separates from the freshly crushed olive paste without pressing. Handpicked olives are ground using massive granite cones, and the oil is collected from the resulting olive paste. The yield is remarkably small: approximately 11 kilos of olives are required to produce just one kilo of Flor de Aceite, compared with roughly five kilos for traditionally extracted olive oil.

Dominated by the bold Picual olive, this robust EVOO offers vibrant green olive fruitiness with notes of fresh herbs and green apple. Its fresh, assertive character makes it especially good anywhere you want the flavor of exceptional olive oil to shine.

Drizzle generously over salads, tomatoes, grilled vegetables, beans, soups, bread, and grilled meats or fish. It's also an excellent choice for vinaigrettes, finishing, and everyday sautéing.
