Castillo de Canena Smoked Arbequina EVOO – SOFI Award Winner – 250ml

From Andalusia to your table

Since 1780, the Castillo de Canena estate has nurtured a tradition of exceptional oils in the Guadalquivir Valley of southern Spain. This smoked Arbequina extra virgin olive oil is created by slowly infusing high–quality Arbequina olives with natural smoke from real wood, including oak, beech, and birch. No artificial flavors are used. The result is a smooth, fruity EVOO with a refined, balanced smokiness and a silky finish that remains approachable even when drizzled over warm, savory dishes.

Craft and sensory profile

Cold pressed olives meet a patient smoking process, yielding a nuanced oil that harmonizes fruit and smoke. Expect bright notes of green apple, almond, and ripe banana, all gently layered with a touch of smoke. The finish is soft enough to complement a wide range of foods without overpowering them.

• Flavor notes: green apple, almond, ripe banana with a subtle wood smoke
• Texture: smooth, medium body with a velvety finish

Versatility for everyday cooking

This oil shines as a finishing touch, elevating the character of dishes rather than masking their core flavors. A drizzle can deepen grilled vegetables, seafood, eggs, hummus, soups, roasted potatoes, and artisan pizza by adding depth and aroma.

• Finishing ideas: vegetables, meats, seafood, eggs, hummus, soups, potatoes, pizza

Why this oil stands out

To preserve its aroma, store in a cool, dark place and pour carefully to maintain the nuanced flavors. Use it as a finishing oil to invite aroma and character to plates without overwhelming the ingredients beneath.
