There are still many people, especially in Andalusia, who don\u2019t understand the value of a premium extra virgin olive oil…They still think it\u2019s just a case of<\/span> putting the same old oil in a pretty bottle<\/span><\/i> and charging twice as much<\/span><\/i>.<\/span> <\/p>\n

They follow the<\/span> “expect the worst and you won\u2019t be disappointed “<\/span><\/i> philosophy, and really don\u2019t care what you can tell them… they never listen.<\/span><\/p>\n

They all tend to have a cousin, friend, or relative who makes olive oil, and somehow that makes them think they\u2019re experts. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s as<\/span> if we haven\u2019t made any progress<\/span> in Spain<\/b> in recent years<\/b>, when in fact there\u2019s been a real revolution<\/span> in the world of artisanal and signature extra virgin olive oil production<\/b>.<\/span> <\/p>\n

Back when I created La Cultivada, there were hardly any EVOOs like this in Andalusia.<\/b> To find something similar, you\u2019d almost have to travel to Tuscany, where small Italian producers would collect their olives in October to produce \u201cgreen\u201d or early-harvest olive oils.<\/span> <\/p>\n

Today, this luxury is available to us<\/b> right here in Spain.<\/span> <\/p>\n

Its value is higher, just like the cost of producing it is too, and it also brings greater health benefits. But <\/span>we do not need to travel out of our country to enjoy it.<\/b><\/p>\n

A premium extra virgin olive oil <\/span>is incredibly versatile in the kitchen and it has health benefits.<\/b> <\/p>\n

One of the fabulous things about a quality EVOO is<\/span> that just a drizzle can take a simple dish up to<\/b> “gastro”<\/i><\/b> level.<\/b><\/p>\n

We have dedicated <\/span>countless hours producing and selecting<\/b> each one of<\/span> our oils<\/b> so that <\/span>you<\/b> can<\/span> spend less time<\/b> preparing your<\/span> dishes<\/b> without sacrificing health and flavour!<\/span><\/p>\n

To put this into practice and pepper things up<\/span>, try this simple recipe paired with<\/span> La Cultivada Picual.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
