Castillo de Canena 'First Day of Harvest' Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil is produced from the very first milling of the season's olive crop. The olives are harvested before they are fully ripe, creating a green, vibrant oil.

If the olive pickers had waited longer they would have harvested riper olives which would have produced more olive oil. But the oil would not have been as pristine and flavorful. That is what makes this limited edition oil so special.

Each year’s release has been commemorated with a unique bottle label, each designed by a different established name from Spain's creative community. This year, world-renowned soprano Ainhoa Arteta has worked with the Vañó family to complete a beautiful identity for the First Day of Harvest bottles.

Castillo De Canena olive oils are made by the reknowned Vañó family in Andalusia. For centuries, the Vañó family has produced olive oil at their 16th century castle in the foothills of the Sierra Mágina. The company takes its name from the castle itself.

Castillo de Canena carefully supervises their olive groves and hand selects olives at the peak time for producing olive oil with the perfect balance of aroma and flavor. (close)
