Early harvest, which ensures a fresh, delicate oil. Light green fruitiness with notes of green apple and fresh grass, complemented by a hint of green banana. Mild bitterness with a slight peppery finish - fresh and delicate, perfect for lighter dishes.

About Casas de Hualdo:
Casas de Hualdo is a relatively young family business working on 630 hectares with 285 000 olive trees. They planted their first olive tree in 1996 and had their first harvest in 1999. In the year 2009, they opened their mill and this is the point when the Casas de Hualdo story gets exciting. Just a few years later they become one of the most recognised olive oil producers of Spain with countless national and international awards won. We think Casas de Hualdo is the perfect example of finding the balance between utilising the latest technology while maintaining respect for traditions. The result is an exceptional quality olive oil.
ElOlivo Review:
We are delighted to offer this beautiful monovarietal Manzanilla Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Casas de Hualdo in our shop. It is undoubtedly of top quality, and we believe it is the best Manzanilla EVOO we have ever tasted. Our smiles were immediate as we tasted this delightful oil; it is truly exceptional. It boasts fresh aromas reminiscent of olive leaves, tomato plants, and banana peels, with a subtle hint of spinach. On the palate, the oil's greenness is perfectly balanced with a medium level of spiciness and bitterness. We consider this to be a meticulously crafted oil, a genuine masterpiece from Casas de Hualdo. In the kitchen, we prefer to use it as a finishing oil or for dipping our homemade sourdough bread, accompanied by some olives. However, if you choose to use it for cooking, go ahead - we are confident that you won't regret it. Enjoy!
