This is a balanced oil with herb, artichoke, tomato and ripe fruit notes. Its pleasant bitterness and pungency as well as its moderate persistence make it highly versatile in the kitchen.

Uses: Designed by Michel Favuzzi, a member of the New York International Culinary Center's first class of olive oil sommeliers, our exceptional quality oils are available in three aromatic intensities: Delicate, made for chefs; Moderate, for everyday use; and Intense, as a finishing touch.

Distinctives attributes: Inaugurated in 2008, the mill is located in the heart of the gorgeous Sierra de Gata natural reserve, in northwestern Spain. This ecofriendly mill, one of Spain’s most technologically advanced, is on a mission to make the best possible olive oil with a zero-carbon footprint. Produced by olive grower Miguel Carrasco Lajas, our oil is of superior quality and rich in polyphenols, but remains affordable enough to be used without moderation.

Origin: Eljas, Extremadura, Spain.

Artisan: Named Extremadura's best olive oil producer for six consecutive years, the artisan behind Favuzzi olive oil is one of Spain's most respected. A true example of technological innovation in the industry, Miguel Carrasco's mill reflects the owner's environmental commitment and tireless dedication to producing exceptional extra virgin olive oil. 

About Favuzzi

For generations, the Favuzzi family has lived according to the rhythm of the harvests near the Adriatic coast, in Italy. Michel Favuzzi, their founder, discovered the family's olive growing tradition through his uncle Damiano during a trip to Europe. It is worth noting that food is part of every conversation with the Favuzzis. Each family member is deeply attached to the land, passionate about doing things well, and focused on quality over high yield. Damiano is both a chef and an agricultural producer; it was he who encouraged his nephew to import an extra virgin olive oil bearing a protected designation of origin (PDO). This oil, produced by the oil cooperative most Favuzzi family members belong to, marked the beginning of the adventure.
