Olive Oil

Olive oil is continually promoted for its clear health benefits including being seen as a key weapon in warding off Alzheimer's, cardiovascular ailments and cancer.  It is no secret that a vitamin-filled mediterranean diet based on olive oil, fish and fresh vegetables is instrumental in keeping Spanish rates of heart disease some two thirds lower than in northern Europe.

Spain produces some 50% of the world's olive oil - far greater than either Italy or Greece, but in the UK Spanish olive oil is a relatively unknown product.  There are over 220 varieties of olive grown in Spain and we have concentrated on four different oils - three of which are single variety and one a blend.  We have sourced these from two small, family-owned producers - one in Murcia and the other in Ciudad Real - both are exclusive to Pure Spain.
