CARBONELL Extra Virgin Olive Oil (750mL)

CARBONELL Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a well-known, top-selling olive oil brand from Spain with a long history, celebrated for its consistent quality and balanced flavor .

The brand has been producing olive oil in Spain since 1866, making it a staple in Spanish kitchens for over 150 years . It is currently owned by the multinational company Deoleo . As Spain's best-selling olive oil, it's a leading choice in a country renowned for its olive oil production .

The "Extra Virgin" label is a mark of the highest quality. For CARBONELL, this means the oil is:

• Pure Olive Juice: Obtained directly from olives using only mechanical processes and without any chemical refining .

• High Quality: This ensures a superior taste and quality, with a low acidity level—in some cases below 0.3%—which is a key indicator of quality for extra virgin olive oil .

The oil is known for a pleasant, balanced flavor with fruity notes and a slightly bitter finish, which is characteristic of high-quality extra virgin olive oil .

• Best Used Cold: It is especially recommended for raw uses like dressing salads, drizzling over toast, and finishing sauces, as this is the best way to appreciate its full aroma and flavor .

• Versatile Range: Beyond its standard blend, CARBONELL also offers single-variety (monovarietal) extra virgin olive oils, such as those made from Arbequina or Picual olives, each with a unique flavor profile .

Like many large oil producers, CARBONELL sometimes blends oils from different sources to maintain a consistent flavor profile, especially during difficult harvests. Previously, its bottles were labeled as containing olives "grown within and outside the EU" .

• Addressing Concerns: While this led to rumors, the company clarified that it has never used olives from Morocco. In past campaigns, they sourced from countries like Chile, Argentina, and Tunisia to supplement Spanish production during droughts .

• Current Status: As of 2025, the brand is working exclusively with 100% Spanish olive oil .

• Traceability: To provide transparency, Carbonell has included a QR code on its bottles since 2024. Scanning it allows you to trace the oil's journey from the olive harvest to the packaging .
