A Picual from the south
Cañada del Avestruz comes from Andalusian groves, where Picual reaches its most recognisable expression under the southern sun. The olives are hand-selected at their optimum ripeness.
The oil is then cold-extracted to keep the herbaceous aromas and the spicy character that set it apart. It is an oil for anyone looking for a full-bodied extra virgin oil for their best recipes.
In our Mataró shop we usually recommend it to people who already know the gentle everyday Picuals and want to go a step further: an oil you notice on the plate, that partners meat and tomato beautifully and turns a simple slice of toast into a small feast. It is the kind of oil that goes on the table so everyone can try it their own way, and it rewards a slow tasting, first on its own and then with good bread.
Where Cañada del Avestruz shines
- Toast with tomato and cured ham.
- Grilled and roast meats.
- Tomato salads and escalivada.
- Gazpacho and salmorejo.
- Mature cheeses with a thread of oil.
Cañada del Avestruz in a 500 ml bottle
Dark glass protects the oil from light, its worst enemy, and the half-litre bottle is finished while the oil is still at its best.
It is a handy size for the table and a good gift for lovers of intense oils. Once opened, keep Cañada del Avestruz tightly closed, away from light and heat.
