Marqués de Griñón Duo EVOO (500ml)

Marqués de Griñón Duo EVOO

Indulge in the celebrated tradition of Spanish olive oil with this premium blend of Marqués de Griñón Duo EVOO. Sourced exclusively from the ancient groves of Toledo, Castile-La Mancha, the Duo EVOO features the harmonious marriage of Arbequina and Picual olives. Enjoy its brilliant golden colour, exquisite aromatic finesse, and nuanced palate, shaped by the unique terroir of the Montes de Toledo.

In crafting this oil, olives are harvested at peak ripeness, yielding a medium-fruity expression with notes of almond, green banana, and freshly cut grass. The taste is delicate and balanced, showcasing fresh vegetal notes and subtle pungency, evidence of the high content of health-promoting polyphenols. The olive varieties used are renowned across Spain for producing oils rich in antioxidants, contributing not only to superior flavour but to cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory benefits.

The estate’s commitment to excellence has brought international recognition both for the oil and for the Marqués de Griñón label. The Duo EVOO itself is a Gold Medal winner at the Los Angeles Olive Oil Competition in 2013, celebrated for its purity, aromatic strength, and culinary versatility. The producer, Marqués de Griñón, is likewise lauded worldwide – with numerous awards at the New York International Olive Oil Competition and recognition for its contributions to organic and sustainable agriculture in Spain. These accolades reflect a steadfast dedication to quality and authenticity, rooted in a family estate dating back to 1292.

Pair this oil with salads, vegetables, grilled fish, and robust cheeses. Its vibrant aroma transforms simple ingredients into memorable meals. For a classic Spanish touch, drizzle it over ripe tomatoes, add to pan con tomate (bread with tomato), or finish gazpacho soup.

Storage is paramount; keep the oil in a cool place away from direct light, ensuring every pour retains freshness and depth of flavour. The glass bottle offers longevity, protecting its organoleptic properties.

How the Spanish Enjoy Marqués de Griñón Duo EVOO

This celebrated oil is a staple across Spanish households – aceite de oliva virgen extra is little short of essential in Spanish cooking. Locals use it liberally to garnish summer salads, the classic ensalada mixta, and to add depth to soups and stews. It is common to see small dishes of this oil served for dipping bread with a sprinkling of sea salt, or as a finishing touch for grilled vegetables and meats.

In rural Spain, particularly in Castile-La Mancha, olive oil tasting is a social event, and Marqués de Griñón Duo EVOO regularly features in tasting sessions due to its vivid character. Restaurants favour its balance for finishing plates, while passionate home cooks rely on its versatility and authentic taste every day.
