We are always on the lookout for interesting olive oils delivering a little something extra whether you are drizzling, dipping or cooking. With salad greens and tomatoes coming right out of the garden, it’s a perfect time to explore our delicious finds from Casas de Hualdo in Spain. Casas de Hualdo EVOOThis ambitious agricultural and livestock project on the Tagus River was initiated in the late 1980’s, and their unique mill built in 2009 is integrated within the olive grove allowing olives to be milled within six hours of harvest! You can taste the freshness!

Our Casas de Hualdo selection at Nest includes 4 individual varietals as well as a special limited edition Reserva de Familia – an outstanding blend elaborated with independent extractions from four varieties (Cornicabra, Picual, Arbequina and Manzanilla.) This olive oil is the most valued from Casas de Hualdo where it is considered a true treasure. Complex and intense with a very long after-taste, it is an ideal finishing oil for salads, radishes and fresh onions…in full simplicity by dipping whole grain bread…or drizzle on cured sheep cheeses and tapas boards. A great choice for more complex preparations like stews, stuffed peppers or lasagna…or explore with dark chocolate desserts. Very fragrant with hints of artichoke, avocado, lettuce, apple and green grass.

Delicious summer hostess gift idea!
