Rincón de la Subbética Hojiblanca Organic - Boxed

Cultivar: Hojiblanca 

Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Andalucia, Spain. 500mls.

Profile: There are many extra virgin olive oil award shows around the world - and many EVOOs that would lay claim to being No. 1.

Rincón de la Subbética is certainly a contender, having racked up more international accolades than probably any other premium EVOO on the planet (more than 720 awards since 2004 to be precise, a truly ridiculous number). The most awarded oil in the history of Spain - and added another NYIOOC Gold to its haul in 2023. 

So we are really pleased to get our hands on an exclusive supply of this organic PDO masterpiece - and it comes in an attractive gift box.
