They say we eat with our eyes. And if there’s one thing tasting extra virgin olive oil has taught us, it’s that appearances shouldn’t be the most important factor.
But it’s also true that many mills put as much care into the presentation of their oils as they do into their production. This is why we find bottles with exclusive designs that not only dress up your dishes but also brighten up your pantry.
If you’re looking for gourmet olive oils to gift this Christmas, you might get some extra ideas from this selection of products available in our online store.
Origen Oliva’s November novelty: Yo, Verde
The 100% picual composition of Yo, Verde and the fact that it is an early-harvest oil have two main consequences: a bright green color and a particularly high antioxidant content. This attribute inspired a design that is in a way an updated version of an apothecary bottle and will undoubtedly impress the most demanding gourmets this Christmas.
A classic bottle with a beautiful pack: Finca La Torre Selección
One detail that makes this extra virgin olive oil perfect for gifting is that its pack includes a photo of the olive groves where it comes from, in Antequera. As you can see, it’s an image to get lost in, perfectly reflecting the intense flavor of this 100% hojiblanca oil. And we must not forget the sophisticated design of another top oil from the same house, Finca La Torre One.
A bottle inspired by the land: Castillo de Canena Biodinámico
At Castillo de Canena, they always pay attention to the creative aspects of their packaging. Naturally, this is also the case for this biodynamic and organic oil (like the previous one), which innovates in texture with a rough finish that pays homage to the soil where the estate’s olive roots grow.
The ABC of coupage oil: a multivarietal box from Bardomus
Bardomus, from their olive groves in the province of Castellón, has created a delightful gastronomic and typographic play. A multivarietal box with one arbequina bottle, two local varieties—canetera and borriolenca—and three bottles of a coupage that combines them, the Assamblage. Hence the A, B, and C in this appealing minimalist design.
A design for a perfect oil: Essence
If oil is liquid gold, some packs are true gems. Both the bottle and the Essence pack, accompanied by a Pedro Ximénez vinegar with great personality, have an ideal design to dress the table for special occasions and to delight the most demanding gourmets this holiday season.<
