The Vañó brothers are making a superhuman effort in the quest for quality that has gained them access to the elite circle of Spanish olive oils. Situated there are the Family Reserves of Castillo de Canena, which include both the Picual and Arbequina varieties. 35,000 half-liter bottles are produced of the latter each harvest, a selection of the finest olives that enter the mills every November.

It stands out for its extraordinary delicate nature, round and enormously complex, with an agreeable intensity and good body, and especially for its exceptional aromatic and flavorful fruitiness. Exuberant vegetable fragrances: lemon rind, lemon verbena, tomato and olive leaves. A crescendo on the palate, evolving, where it begins velvety, it turns into an explosion of green sensations impregnated with a refined bitterness and a tingling insinuation at the finish.
