Single-Estate Organic Olive Oil
At Miquel's, we know that you want to share inspiring meals with your family and friends and in order to do that, you need to cook with only the freshest, high-quality products.
The problem is, sourcing authentic, single-estate products takes time and dedication. We believe that there should be an easier way access to single-estate, organic olive oil from the Mediterranean. And we feel strongly that finding quality organic olive oil shouldn't be a guessing game. This is why we ship grove-to-table and produce only what is grown in our family's estate in Mallorca, Spain. That means selecting only the best organic olives for production and getting them to a local pressin less than 12 hours. The result is an award-winning Arbequina and Picual blend that is guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
The basic principles of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, the varieties of the oils that you can find at the supermarket, as well as, the most successful techniques and applications for this product.
