Nunez De Prado Extra Virgin Olive Oil Tin, 33.8 Ounce

Incredible! This EVOO is from a place I was fortunate enough to visit on a cycling trip a few years ago. Since then I order a can when my finances allow. When this listing came up on Amazon at such a great discounted price, I bought three! The delivery date was shown as “May 2 - May 22” but I could wait at that price. I didn’t have to! Just a week later and it arrived. Expiration 12/2026. Get this offer while you can!

Excellent!

TI have bought several times this fine oil. And I received a few questions about this product from other consumers which I answered based upon what I know about the olive oil of the region where this product is produced. First question was: What variety of olives is it made off. My answer is that though the producer does not specifically indicate the varieties it is well known in the area of Baena, which is located South of Cordoba in Spain. A small city located between Cordoba and Granada. These region has produced virgin olive oil from the time it was under Roman rule. The varieties that are most used in the area are: Picual, Spanish Hojiblanca, and Spanish Aberquino. It that tells you something. The Nunez de Prado family is one of the well known producers of the area. They use a combination of all the varieties in the area with a view of the effect of the combination on taste and quality. They have been doing that for several generations and their manufacturing place is often visited by tourists curious about what it means "Virgin olive oil" "cold press". It means processed by mechanical means with no chemicals added of any sort, it is a heavy cone stone smashing the fresh olives taken from their old local farm. It is small boutique producer. There are others in the area. But they are Good.Thus the variety has no relation to other varieties available from other countries. Southern Spanish oil has been sold by Italian exporters as Italian because of the appeal of Italianized propaganda. There have been sues against unscrupulous exporters that have exposed the trade scam, one famous case in the press was against Bertolli. But they did not export oil from this specific region. There are many other types of olive oil in Spain.The expiration date is clearly posted on top of the cute can with an adhesive label. It is fresh, pure and tasty with a slight peppery flavor given by adding some of the Picual olives to the mix. The mix is put aside while starts dripping into a big vat. That is what you get. If you visit the place you can see it with your own very eyes.The can is lined with a chemically neutral coat. Opening the can is easy if you use your ingenuity. Just lift the plastic ring, unscrew the top and that's all. It may take a little know how if you have not used this type of tin can. But they also have bottled similar oil. Good luck. Enjoy.

The flavor of the olive oil is great, however, the can was dented, and the oil makes a mess when you try to pour it from the spout. I only took off a star because maybe i am doing something wrong but it would be nice if some short simple instructions were included.

All you need is this brand and Ellora from Crete. No need to spend more. Ligurian evoo very lite but tasty as well. But, these too, one from Spain and the other from Crete will serve you well and can be used to cook with or as a dipping oil . Not too grassy either one ; the Ellora especially buttery , the Nunez de Prado full of flavor and buttery and herbal

I am about to order my 10th can. This is a very good EVOO. Mix this with lentils and you are in heaven.
