Review: One of the very best - As a fan of Arbequina olive oil, I’ve tried many brands, but Castillo de Canena stands out as one of the top contenders. This oil has quickly become one of my favorites, and it’s easily in my top 3 for Arbequina varieties. The taste of Castillo de Canena is rich and fruity, with a subtle but distinct hint of guava that adds a unique depth of flavor. The aroma is equally impressive—fresh, vibrant, and inviting, it enhances whatever dish you're preparing. I love drizzling it over a slice of warm bread or using it to elevate roasted potatoes. It’s the perfect finishing touch, adding just the right balance of richness and brightness without overwhelming the other flavors. What really sets this olive oil apart is its smooth, well-rounded finish. The fruity notes linger pleasantly, and the oil’s delicate yet distinctive character makes it versatile enough to pair with a variety of dishes. It also works wonderfully in dressings, marinades, or simply as a dip. Overall, Castillo de Canena Olive Oil is a standout in the world of Arbequina oils. Its exceptional flavor and aroma, especially the subtle guava undertones, make it a must-have in my kitchen. If you’re a fan of fruity, high-quality olive oils, this one is definitely worth trying.
Review: Incredible Spanish Olive Oil! - In Spain I remember traveling through mile after mile of beautiful olive groves. At a little shop in Granada, I tried samples of different olive oils, and one type stood out. It had an amazingly fresh fruity taste with hints of apple, almonds, and pepper, something I had not tasted before. This same variety of oil turned up at several dinners throughout Spain, paired with bread and included in the cooked food. I fell in love with Spanish olive oil, and after two weeks of eating it I could see an improvement in my health, especially my skin. I brought some olive oil home from Spain, but then could not find anything in local stores that compared to it. That is why I was so happy to find Castillo de Canena Family Reserve Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It is authentic and has that incredible unique taste one can only find in a Spanish olive oil made from the Arbequina olive. It is delicious on a variety of foods and, of course, goes well with bread. I also find it is beneficial to have a spoonful every day for skin, hair, digestion, and overall health. You can tell this family-run business puts care and detail into every bottle. This is without question my favorite olive oil.

## Features

- LUXURY SPANISH ESTATE EVOO – Produced on the historic Castillo de Canena estate in Andalusia, Spain, this Family Reserve Extra Virgin Olive Oil reflects tradition, traceability, and craftsmanship dating back to 1780.

- INTENSE, FRUITY & PEPPERY SENSORY PROFILE – Green, fresh, and fragrant with notes of tomato, tomato plant, herbs, green wheat, green almond, and green banana. A delicate floral touch of thyme with a balanced, harmonious structure and lively peppery finish.
- PREMIUM FINISHING OIL FOR THE MEDITERRANEAN DIET – Ideal as a finishing oil for salads, grilled vegetables, seafood, meats, soups, and artisan bread. A cornerstone ingredient of the Mediterranean diet and elevated home cooking.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: If you place the olive oil inside of the refrigerator, does it extend its life before getting rancid? Thanks so much!**
A: Olive oil will keep well if stored in a sealed container in a cool, dark cupboard for about one year. If unopened, the oil may keep for as long as two years. You can refrigerate it but please keep in mind that refrigerated olive oil will solidify and turn cloudy, making it difficult to use. Returning it to room temperature restores its fluidity and color.

**Q: Could I likely refill this bottle with other oils once empty, or will the blue color likely wear off the glass after normal use?  Thanks.**
A: Yes, you can fill with other oils.

**Q: Is this this 2017 vintage?**
A: are you serious Bob? does any oil state the vintage?

**Q: Is this a good price? And did they pack properly to avoid breakage? Thanks**
A: This is a fair price for this award winning oil.  The bottles are securely packed in bubble wrap to avoid breakage.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very high quality
*by H***O on July 26, 2025*

This is the best olive oil I’ve ever tasted. Most American made ones taste ‘washed out.’ This one tastes authentic, just like the olive oil in Italy. A lot of people don’t like strong tasting olive oil but then it’s not olive oil. Please lower the price so I can get 10 of them :D
