Description

Bring the vibrant culinary heritage and authentic flavors of Spain to your kitchen with Garusana 100% Spanish Extra Virgin Olive Oil (1 Litre e – Since 2001). Extracted exclusively from prime, sun-ripened olives cultivated across traditional Spanish olive-growing regions, Garusana EVOO is produced solely by mechanical cold-pressing methods without the application of heat or chemical solvents. This gentle extraction process preserves the natural biophenols, vitamin E, and mono-unsaturated oleic acids that make extra virgin olive oil a celebrated staple of the Mediterranean diet.

Completely cholesterol-free and non-GM, Garusana achieves an all-around culinary balance: robust enough to carry full-bodied marinades, sauces, and finishing drizzles, yet soft and pleasant enough to enhance delicate dishes without overpowering them. Housed in a dark, UV-filtering 1-litre glass bottle, the oil is protected against light-induced oxidation and photo-degradation, keeping its delicate aromatics and fruity clarity fresher for longer. Whether whisked into homemade salad dressings, served in a saucer alongside warm sourdough, or drizzled over grilled meats and tapas, Garusana delivers authentic Spanish character in every pour.
