From the Aljarafe, in under two hours
Isbilya is made in Umbrete, in the Aljarafe near Seville, by Aceites Yllanes Marini. Its olive trees grow as a continuous hedge, a layout that lets light reach the whole tree so the olives ripen evenly.
The harvest is brought forward to mid-October, while the fruit is still green, and done in the coolest hours, using only olives picked from the tree. In under two hours the olives reach the mill, where the oil is cold-extracted and bottled under an inert atmosphere.
Where Isbilya Grand Coupage Intense shines
- Grilled and roast meats.
- Pulses and stews.
- Toast with tomato and salt.
- Mature cheeses.
- Bold grilled vegetables.
Isbilya Grand Coupage Intense in a 500 ml bottle
Its painted bottle protects the oil from light and keeps its quality over time. Half a litre is the right measure for an intense oil used every day with intent.
Once opened, close it well after each use and keep it away from the hob.
In our Mataró shop we usually explain the two Isbilya blends together: Delicate for those who want softness and Intense for those who want an oil that makes itself felt. Tasting one after the other, with a little bread, makes the difference clear.
