When you cook every day, at home or in a business, oil is counted in litres, and Padilla 1808 Selección answers with a case of 2 tins of 5 L. It is the Picual extra virgin olive oil from the Padilla family’s own groves in Jaén, picked in November and cold-extracted at no more than 27 ºC.
It has medium green-olive fruitiness with light notes of tomato and artichoke, and on the palate it is smooth, with light, very balanced bitterness and pepperiness. That smoothness lets Padilla 1808 Selección in a 5 L tin sit comfortably with whatever goes into the pan, onto the griddle or into the oven, and with the salad dressing too.

The Padilla family groves
Behind Padilla 1808 Selección stands Aceites Padilla, a family of olive growers from Jaén who make their extra virgin olive oil from the olives of their own groves. Picual, the province’s leading variety, is the base of this oil.
The family has also planted Italian varieties rarely seen in Spain, such as Taggiasca and Carlesca, and treats them with the same devotion: olives picked at the ideal moment of ripeness and cold extraction.
Where Padilla 1808 Selección shines
- Everyday sofritos and stews, with a generous base of oil.

Why Padilla 1808 Selección in a case of 2 tins of 5 L
Five litres last many weeks at the stove: this is the format for anyone who cooks with oil every day and prefers not to restock all the time. The case brings together 2 identical tins, 10 L in all, as the mill sells them.
The tin shields the oil from light. For daily use you can pour a little into an oil cruet and keep the tin closed in a cool cupboard, away from heat, until you need it again.
