Manzanillo

Originating in Spain, the Manzanillo olive produces an oil that is typically fruity and aromatic, with notes of green apple, tomato leaf, and fresh herbs. On the palate, it offers a balance of bitterness and pungency, often with a lingering peppery finish. Its intensity makes it ideal for pairing with robust foods - think grilled vegetables, red meats, sharp cheeses, or rustic Mediterranean dishes. Due to its high polyphenol content, Manzanillo oil is not only flavourful but also rich in antioxidants, making it a favourite among both chefs and health-conscious cooks.
