From the Padilla family groves in Jaén
Aceites Padilla is a family of olive growers from Jaén who make their extra virgin olive oil from the olives of their own groves. Picual, the leading variety of the province, is the base of Padilla 1808, and it is processed only by mechanical means.
Alongside it, the house has planted Italian varieties rarely seen in Spain, such as Taggiasca and Carlesca, to offer different profiles with the same care at harvest and in cold extraction.
What to cook with Padilla 1808
- Stews and spoon dishes, to start the sofrito.

Why 12 PET containers of 1 L
Twelve containers of 1 L are twelve litres you use one at a time. It is a handy format for anyone who wants a litre in every kitchen or every family home, for the bar or small restaurant that counts litres by the week, or for those who prefer to open one pack without committing the whole stock.
Keep them closed, in a cool place away from light. The open container is best kept tightly capped, and the others can wait their turn just as they arrived.
