What makes Extra Virgin Olive Oil different from other olive oils?
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) is the highest quality grade of olive oil. Unlike refined oils, EVOO is extracted exclusively by mechanical means, without chemicals or heat, which preserves its natural antioxidants, vitamins, and flavor. Antonio el Malagués Extra Virgin Olive Oil comes directly from freshly harvested Picual olives from Southern Spain, ensuring purity, authenticity, and premium quality in every bottle.
Why choose Spanish Extra Virgin Olive Oil over Italian or Greek?
Spain is the world’s leading producer of olive oil, and Andalusia is at the heart of this tradition. Spanish EVOO is known for its balanced, fruity flavor with a peppery finish, making it versatile for both cooking and finishing dishes. While Italian and Greek oils have their own profiles, Spanish olive oil is celebrated for its consistency, sustainability, and unmatched heritage.
Is Extra Virgin Olive Oil healthy?

How should I store Extra Virgin Olive Oil?

What does “cold-pressed” mean?
“Cold-pressed” means the oil is extracted at low temperatures, never exceeding 27°C (80°F). This method preserves the natural nutrients, antioxidants, and delicate flavors of the olives.
