Andalusian origin and mill of Cañada del Avestruz
The brand Cañada del Avestruz makes its oils in the olive-growing districts of Andalusia, a land with a long tradition in oil production. Olives are collected when they reach the exact point of ripeness, then cold extracted at the mill to preserve the aromas and purity of the freshly pressed oil.
This care in the field and at the mill produces a stable oil with a firm body and a rich aroma that holds up over the months. The experience of Cañada del Avestruz guarantees a rigorous standard that meets the demands of the most authentic Mediterranean cooking.

Five-litre jug format and storage advice
The large jug of the Cañada del Avestruz jug 5L answers continuous consumption needs in homes and restaurants. Its sturdy design makes good use of storage space and offers an excellent value per litre for those who do not want to refill bottles too often.
To keep its organoleptic qualities intact throughout the period of use, pour a small amount into a daily oil cruet and keep the jug tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat from the cooker.
The jug is also convenient for batch cooking. Pour the day supply into a smaller container and keep the rest sealed, so the oil in the jug stays as fresh as possible for longer.
