As every year, Castillo de Canena surprises us with a new delight for the palate. This time…
A real explosion of spicy flavour, with harissa sauce, a typical recipe from the Maghreb, made from paprika, cayenne, garlic, coriander and caraway, which multiplies the fruitiness and freshness of the olive oil…
An oil that stands out for its fluidity, balance and freshness
Red/orange and transparent oil. Organoleptic profile that perfectly matches the nose and mouth, but with the surprising natural cayenne pepper in the latter. Also notable is its fluidity and a bitter and spicy taste in perfect harmony with the spiciness provided by this mixture of spices.
With a few drops of Castillo de Canena Arbequina with Harissa, you can turn chicken breasts into a dish with flavour 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 thoroughly researched the world of Harissa and the tradition and uses of the different spices associated with Mediterranean culture. Thus, we have created a special and unique variation of this condiment that maximises, from a sensorial point of view, the fruitiness and herbaceous perception of extra virgin Arbequina oil, generating an exceptional spiciness and freshness in the mouth.
When my sister Rosa and I started the “Castillo de Canena” project 15 years ago, we did so on the solid foundations that our parents and previous generations of family members had bequeathed to us. From the beginning, we were very clear that we were, above all, farmers. We were possessed by a moral mandate that obliged us to preserve the countryside, to pamper it, to look after it, to regenerate it and to never forget that the basis of our heritage was the magnificent olive groves from which we obtained, year after year and harvest after harvest, the fruits from which we extracted extraordinary juices and AOVEs of the highest quality. We had received a unique legacy but, in reality, it did not belong to us; we had to leave our children the inheritance of a land much richer, more fertile and with more biodiversity than the one that had been given to us by our elders.
