The olive leaf, lettuce, and artichoke are the first notes that appear; then comes the fresh fruit, tomato, and a touch of green banana and apple. The bitterness and spiciness are well integrated with an astringent element that alludes to artichoke, thistle, and persimmon. Persistent in the mouth.

ORIGIN Castillo de Canena is a unique family-owned company, involved in the entire process of creating extra virgin olive oils: from the tree to its commercialization. Its estates, located in the province of Jaén, are immersed in an incredible natural environment such as Sierra Cazorla, Sierra Mágina, or Cazorla Natural Park. Their olive trees are irrigated by 8 kilometers of river, the Guadiana Menor. This Biodynamic EVOO has the DEMETER certification for biodynamic agriculture.
Biodynamic Agriculture is a step forward from the ECOLOGICAL cultivation method, based on harmonizing the different forces that govern Nature: seasons, atmospheric phenomena, lunar cycles, position of constellations in the cosmos, seeking a comprehensive balance between soil, trees, animals, and Man. To obtain the DEMETER certification, among other actions, Castillo de Canena has incorporated sheep into the farm, they produce their own compost, enhance the vegetation cover through the installation of beehives, use silica foliar (ground quartz) instead of copper, and apply different biodynamic preparations.
