Spanish Olive Oil, 5 l

Spanish olive oil in a 5-litre container for households that use good-quality oil every day. The oil is cold-pressed from Aloreña olives, which are grown exclusively in a small area north of Málaga. The flavour is mild and well-rounded with no bitterness, making it suitable for virtually everything in the kitchen, from frying to dressings and bread.

Why many people choose Spanish olive oil in a large container

If you use olive oil every day, the price per litre quickly adds up with standard bottles. The container offers a significantly lower price per litre and less packaging per meal. The quality is exactly the same as in our 1-litre bottle of the same oil, pressed from the same olives from the same region.

The jug is handy at the holiday home, for larger households and for those who cook from scratch every day. Many people also share a jug with family or neighbours, so everyone can benefit from the price per litre whilst the oil is still fresh.

How to store the oil properly

• Keep the container in a cool, dark place, ideally in a cupboard or utility room.
• Decant the oil into a smaller bottle for everyday use.
• Seal the container tightly after each refill.
• Use the oil regularly; it tastes best whilst it’s fresh.

With a small bottle by the hob and the container in the cupboard, you’ll always have fresh oil to hand, without light and heat affecting the rest. A dark glass bottle with a pourer is your best everyday companion. Top it up once a week and leave the canister to its own devices in the cupboard.

One oil for everything

The mild Aloreña flavour makes the oil ideal for frying meat, fish and vegetables, for marinades and dressings, on bread and with dairy products. Some people also use it as a hair treatment or as a moisturising oil for dry skin.
