As every year, Castillo de Canena surprises us with a new delight for the palate. This time…
A true explosion of spicy flavor, with harissa sauce, a typical Maghreb recipe made from paprika, cayenne, garlic, cilantro, and caraway, which amplifies the fruitiness and freshness of the olive oil…
An oil that stands out for its fluidity, balance, and freshness
Oil of red/orange color and transparent. Organoleptic profile that perfectly matches nose and palate, but with the surprising natural heat of cayenne on the palate. Its fluidity stands out, as well as a bitterness and spiciness perfectly harmonized with the heat provided by this blend of spices.
With a few drops of Castillo de Canena Arbequina with Harissa, you can turn chicken breasts into a dish full of flavor and personality. Ideal for seafood salads, couscous, tagines, mayonnaise, patatas bravas, chicken, ribs, burgers, or pizzas.
Rosa Vañó and Paco Vañó, Owners of Castillo de Canena:
We have deeply explored the world of Harissa and the tradition and uses of the various spicy flavors associated with Mediterranean culture. In this way, we have created a special and unique variation of this condiment that maximizes, from a sensory point of view, the fruitiness and herbaceous perception of extra virgin Arbequina olive oil, generating exceptional spiciness and freshness on the palate.
Fifteen years ago, when my sister Rosa and I started the “Castillo de Canena” project, we did so on the solid foundations left to us by our parents and previous generations of our family. From the beginning, we were very clear that we were, above all, farmers. We were driven by a moral mandate to preserve the land, nurture it, care for it, regenerate it, and never forget that the foundation of our heritage was the magnificent olive groves from which we obtained, year after year and harvest after harvest, the fruits to produce extraordinary juices and EVOOs of the highest quality. We had received a unique legacy, but it did not truly belong to us; we had to leave our children the inheritance of a land much richer, more fertile, and with greater biodiversity than that which had been handed down to us by our elders.
