Aceites Padilla, olive growers from Jaén

Padilla 1808 Selección is the house selection of Picual olives: fruit picked in November, at its ideal ripeness. The family has also planted Italian varieties rarely seen in Spain, such as Taggiasca and Carlesca, to offer different profiles with the same care.

Where Padilla 1808 Selección shines

  • Toast with grated tomato, which echoes its tomato note.
  • Leaf and tomato salads, always raw.
  • Artichokes, grilled or sautéed, to repeat its aroma.
  • Roasted vegetables and everyday Mediterranean cooking.
  • Grilled white fish with a thread of oil at the end.

Why a case of 2 tins of 5 L

Padilla 1808 Selección, case of 2 tins of 5 L

With two 5 L tins, the case keeps 10 litres of Padilla 1808 Selección in containers that block out light. It is a practical way to keep a reserve: open one tin, decant the oil into an everyday cruet and leave the other sealed.

It suits anyone who cooks with extra virgin olive oil every day and prefers one big, spaced-out purchase, whether for a busy family table or a small kitchen. Once opened, keep the container tightly closed in a cool place away from light.
