Spices and green olive

Toasted, pungent cayenne aromas come first. The other spices follow, clearly identifiable in the aftertaste: garlic, coriander and caraway. Added to this exotic mix is the fresh, intense fruitiness of green Jaén olives, characteristic of Arbequina.

The combination is balanced: the oil softens and rounds out the heat of the harissa, while the spices give Arbequina's fruitiness a new dimension.

From the Maghreb to Jaén

Harissa is a sauce typical of the Maghreb, the region of North Africa formed by Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria and Libya. Chillies reached it after their introduction to Europe in the 16th century and, in the souks, were combined with spices into a sauce adapted to each local cuisine.

Castillo de Canena is a family company in Jaén that controls the whole process, from tree to bottle. Its estate works under integrated production certification, and its track record includes the Alimentos de España award and Flos Olei's best olive oil company.

Where it shines

  • Barbecues and chicken wings.
  • Burgers and sandwiches.
  • Chips and corn on the cob.
  • Salads and vegetable sandwiches.
  • Couscous and roasted vegetables.

A few drops at the end are enough to add heat and spiced aroma.

Six 250 ml bottles

The case holds six quarter-litre bottles, enough to keep a reserve at home or share with friends who enjoy spicy cooking. As a flavoured oil, it is best used as a finishing condiment.

It keeps best tightly closed, away from light and heat; its colour is that of an oil with spices.
